That's a formula that shows the relationship between three quantities ...
weight, mass, and acceleration.  If you know any two of them, then you
can use this formula to find the one you don't know.

Examples:

==>  I have a rock with 2 kilograms of mass.
        The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
        How much does my rock weigh on Earth ?

         Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
                      = (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
                                                       =  19.6 newtons
                                                  (about 4.41 pounds)

==>  My brother weighs 770 newtons (about 173 pounds) on Earth.
         What is his mass ?

                               Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                               770 newtons = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s²:           770 newtons / 9.8 m/s² = mass

                                        78.57 kilograms = mass

==> When I went to the Moon, I took along my 2-kilogram rock.
         I weighed my rock on the Moon. 
         It weighs 3.25 newtons  (about 0.73 pound) there.
         What is the gravitational acceleration on the Moon ?

                                   Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)

                                   3.25 newtons = (2 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  2 kilograms:        (3.25 newtons)/(2 kg)  =  acceleration

                                    1.63 m/s² = grav acceleration on the Moon

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.
