98.1 N at the earth's surface.
On earth, 100N is 10.2kg or 22.5 lbs.
You convert mass to weight by multiplying by the local acceleration due to gravity ...f = ma... where f is the force in newtons, mass is the mass in kilograms and a is the acceleration in meters per second squared. For the Earth, a is 9.81, so a mass of 100 kg has a weight of 981 newtons.It is "common" though erroneous to say that the "weight" of the 100 kg object is 100 kg. It is precisely correct to say the weight is 981 newtons, on the Earth, but we generally accept the implicit conversion for G=9.81 in the statement that the weight is 100 kg, just not on a physics test.
The weight of a 100 kg object is 100 kg. Kilograms are a unit of weight.
Also 100 newtons. Actually, that would only hold it in place - to push it back, you would need slightly more than 100 newtons.
The object must be stationary. Work done happens when the object is moving in the direction of the force- if it is staying still, there is no work done!

On earth, 100N is 10.2kg or 22.5 lbs.
The pound is a unit of weight, which is the force that gravity exerts on an object on earth's surface, and the newton is a unit of force defined metrically. Since weight is the result of an object's acceleration by the force of gravity (yes, the idea of acceleration applies to a stationary object), they are directly comparable. One pound [of force] equals 4.44822162 newtons, so 100 pounds equals 444.822162 newtons. For any object in one frame of reference for all measurements, pounds and newtons can be converted one to another in this way.
The gravity acceleration on the moon is 16 that on earth. Erath gravity is 9.8 m/sec/sec and n moon is 1.63 m/sec/sec Weight on earth is 9.8 x 100 = 980 Newtons Weight on moon is 1.63 x 100 = 163 Newtons Do not confuse mass with weight - mass is the same (100kg) but weight is different Weight = mass x acceleration of gravity
We know that the weight of any object = the mass of the object* g, [where g is the gravitational acceleration]. For any object the mass will be constant in any case. Though Einstein proved that if any object moves with the velocity greater than light it's mass will increase. But in this case the mass will not change. But the gravitational acceleration will change. It is proved that the gravitational acceleration of moon is 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration of the earth. So, the weight of the object on moon will be 100/6 newton=16.666(apporximately) newtons.
It depends what you mean by weight. When we speak, we erroneously use the word weight for describing mass. The mass (or inertial mass in this case) is the measure of an object's resistance to acceleration and its unit is kilograms. The mass is an intrinsic propriety of an object which never changes. Hence, your mass is always the same, it does not matter where you are. When we talk about weight we talk about the gravitational force which every object with mass is subject to. The weight takes into account the acceleration derived from the gravitational pull of any given body. The wight is measured in Newtons and it is calculated by multiplying the mass by the acceleration derived from the gravitational field: w=mg The unit for weight is Newtons. The acceleration g on earth is approximately 9.8 m s-2 . This value is related to the mass of the object which creates the gravitational field. In other words, your weight (expressed in Newtons) depends on the environment. An object whose mass is 100 Kilograms weights on earth approximately 980 Newtons (w=100 Kg X 9.8 m s-2). If we move the same object to this new planet, on which the gravitational field is 15 times the terrestrial gravitational field its mass will still be 100 Kg but its weight will increase dramatically to 14,700 Newtons (w=100 Kg x 147 m s-2). As for the the 100 pound object described in the question, we have to convert first pounds into kilograms and then we can calculate its weight on this new planet as well: 100 pounds= approx. 45 Kilograms On the new planet its mass will still be 45 Kilograms (exactly as on earth). Its weight on earth is 441 Newtons (w= 45 Kg X 9.8 m s-2). Its weight on the new planet will be 6,615 Newtons (w= 45 Kg X 147 m s-2). If we want to use English engineering units and we accept 100 pounds as a measure of mass we can simply say that the 100 pound object would wight 1,500 pounds-force on the new planet.

The weight of a 100 kg object is 100 kg. Kilograms are a unit of weight.
A mass of 100 pounds, weighs approx 444.5 Newtons. A kilogram is not a measure of weight, a Newton is.
Also 100 newtons. Actually, that would only hold it in place - to push it back, you would need slightly more than 100 newtons.

On the moon, 10 kg of mass weighs 16.2 newtons (3.65 pounds). (rounded)
