Simply put multiply the weight in kg by the force of gravity on the planet
Calculating Weight All objects on Earth accelerate downward due to gravity at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. Therefore, if you know the mass of an object, you can calculate its weight using this equation: F = m × 9.8 m/s2 Q: Sam has a mass of 50 kilograms. What is his weight in Newtons? A: You can calculate Sam’s weight in Newtons by substituting his mass in kilograms into the weight formula: F = m × 9.8 m/s2 = 50 kg × 9.8 m/s2 = 490 kg • m/s2, or 490 N
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object’s mass, which is how much matter the object contains. It also depends on the downward acceleration of the object due to gravity, which is the same all over Earth.
