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.
