Mass to/from Weight

The following are the relative conversion equations.

Weight to Mass

Since mass is weight in vacuum, the conversion requires the density of the material as well as an adjustment factor to the density for the buoyancy of air.

Where:

M = Mass

r = Density

W = Weight

adj = Density adjustment for buoyancy of air. The value is from the Global Factors element, SF_GlobalFactors.
