A certain particle has a weight of 26.0 N at a point where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s. (a) What are the weight and mass of the particle at a point where the acceleration due to gravity is 4.60 m/s 2 ? (b) What are the weight and mass of the particle if it is moved to a point in space where the gravitational force is zero?

Rounding off to three significant figures, weight of the particle would be, 12.2 N.
Thus from the above observation we conclude that, mass of the particle would be 2.65 kg and weight of the particle would be, 12.2 N.
