weight is measured in what unit
Since weight is force and force = mass*acceleration, the unit for weight is a unit of mass times a unit for acceleration. The SI unit for weight is in kg*m/s2, or Newtons (N) So your weight in Newtons would be your mass in kilograms multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity of the planet you are on.If you are on Earth, you would multiply your mass in kilograms by approximately 9.81, to get your weight in Newtons.eight is expressed in units of force. Some popular units of force are the. pound, ounce, poundal, newton, dyne, ton, stone, etc. Any of these can be. used to describe a weight. Weight is not measured in units of mass, such as the gram or kilogram.
