Compare values and familiar conditions, then apply a representative example.

Support a 0.5 kg loadAbout 4.9 N

0.5 kg load / 0.5 L water / two 0.25 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Support a 2 kg loadAbout 19.61 N

2 kg load / 2 L water / two 1 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Support a 10 kg loadAbout 98.07 N

10 kg load / 10 L water / two 5 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Support a 0.1 kg loadAbout 0.98 N

0.1 kg load / 0.1 L water / two 0.05 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Support a 1 kg loadAbout 9.81 N

1 kg load / 1 L water / two 0.5 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Support a 5 kg loadAbout 49.03 N

5 kg load / 5 L water / two 2.5 kg weights. Water assumes 1 L = 1 kg, excluding the container.

Reference conditions

Assumes standard gravity 9.80665 m/s² and a stationary load. Water at 1 kg/L is an approximation excluding the container; falling, acceleration and impact are not included.

How to read this view

Equation and interpretation

m=F/g with g=9.80665 m/s². kg is mass; N is force. Vertical reveal is illustrative.
