About Force, mass and acceleration calculator

Newton's second law says force equals mass times acceleration (F = m x a). Enter two values to get the third, in newtons, kilograms and metres per second squared. It also shows the weight on Earth, using gravity of about 9.81 m/s2, which is a force, not a mass.
