How are acceleration due to gravity and the mass of an object related?
The product of the two values is weight. That is, w=mg, so if a person has a mass of 60 kg, her weight is: w=60kg*9.8m/s/s =588Newtons. Edit- I do not know what is compelling people to say there is no relation between mass and acceleration of gravity. Do not take my word for the relationship, if you believe I am wrong, just google it, and you will see. In fact, just go to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight Additional edit-as you can see from BillRuss answer, F=mg. Since weight is force, substitute F with w and you have w=mg as in my original answer.
