text: This is because weight is a force, while mass is the property that (along with gravity) determines the strength of this force.
text: Kilograms denote mass, but pounds denote weight, the force a mass exerts against a barrier in the presence of an acceleration field acting perpendicular to the barrier.
text: Mass is different from weight, Weight is a force.
text: In modern scientific usage, weight and mass are fundamentally different quantities: mass is an intrinsic property of matter, whereas weight is a force that results from the action of gravity on matter: it measures how strongly the force of gravity pulls on that matter.
text: When talking about weight, weight is a force.
text: For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement).
text: Weight is the force exerted on a body by a gravitational field, and hence its weight depends on the strength of the gravitational field.
text: In the operational definition, the weight of an object is the force measured by the operation of weighing it, which is the force it exerts on its support.
