Which of these is the correct formula linking mass and weight?

• weight = mass x gravitational field strength ( W = m.g )

• weight = mass ÷ gravitational field strength ( W= m/g)

• mass = gravitational field strength x weight ( m = g.W )

• mass = gravitational field strength ÷ weight ( m = g/W )
