Apparent Weight Calculator

  • by

The Apparent Weight Calculator helps calculate the effective weight experienced by an object under different conditions, such as in elevators or accelerating systems.

Using this tool, you can enter mass and acceleration to find the apparent weight or use the advanced mode to consider additional forces and gravity adjustments.

Apparent Weight Calculator

This calculator helps you determine the apparent weight by using mass, acceleration, or additional forces. Use the appropriate mode to input your values.

Advanced calculation for total apparent weight considering additional forces.

Basic Calculator Instructions:

  1. Enter any two values:
    • Mass (kg): The object’s mass in kilograms.
    • Acceleration (m/s²): The system’s acceleration (positive for upward movement, negative for downward).
    • Apparent Weight (N): The calculated effective weight.
  2. Click Calculate to find the missing value.

Advanced Calculator Instructions:

  1. Provide values for:
    • Total Mass (kg): The mass of the object.
    • Acceleration Due to Gravity (m/s²): Adjust for gravity in different conditions (default 9.81 m/s²).
    • Additional Force (N): Any extra force affecting the object.
  2. Click Calculate to get the Total Apparent Weight.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Step Value
Mass 10 kg
Acceleration 2 m/s²
Calculate Apparent Weight (10 * 9.81) + (10 * 2)
Result (Apparent Weight) 118.1 N

Example 2:

Step Value
Total Mass 15 kg
Acceleration Due to Gravity 9.81 m/s²
Additional Force 50 N
Calculate Total Apparent Weight (15 * 9.81) + 50
Result (Total Apparent Weight) 197.15 N
