newton
Technically speaking weight is measured in newtons, but newtons are used to measure force. Weight in the scientific sense is the force a body exerts due to the effect of gravity on it's mass. Gravity on earth has an accelerating effect of roughly ten metres per second per second. So weight is mass, in kilograms, multiplied by ten. Newtons are a derived unit made up of kilogram metres per second per second.
In everyday use weight is taken as a synonym for mass; so recipes, people, buses, etc. are weighed in kilograms.

List a metric unit for each measurement length volume weight and density?
List a metric unit for each measurement: lenght, volume, weight, and density,
Define a metric unit?
A metric unit is a decimal unit of measurement of the metric system, based on meters and kilograms and seconds.
The metric system of weights and measures?
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
What are the unit of measurement for the jaw opening in a metric wrench and uscs wrench?
What is the unit measurement for the jaw opening in metric rench and a USCS wrench
Is a gram measurement of a weight in the metric system?
Yes, its the base unit for measuring mass.
Is a kilogram used as a measurement for weight?
yes, it is the unit for metric unit for weight.
What is the most useful measurement for weight?
The most common measurement for weight is kilograms (kg). That is the metric S.I. (systéme internationale d'unites) unit for weight.
What is a measurement of weight in the standard measurement system?
the metric system is based on 1 cc of water weighing 1 gram Correction cc is not an acceptable metric symbol; a cubic centimetre is cm3 Nothing can "weigh" 1 gram - it's not a unit of weight though an object may have a mass of 1 g. The question seems to ask for any unit of weight measurement in "the standard measurement system" without defining what is meant. A metric weight unit is the newton, assuming "the standard measurement system" is SI. In the "standard" US measurement system a weight unit is a pound.
Kilograms are a unit of measurement for?
Kilograms in the metric system is used to measure mass and weight.
What is the standard (or SI) unit of measurement for mass?

What is the metric measurement of weight?
The unit for mass that is most commonly associated with the metric system is the kilogram. Strictly speaking, "weight", which is a type of force, is measured in Newtons.
List a metric unit for each measurement length volume weight and density?
List a metric unit for each measurement: lenght, volume, weight, and density,
Define a metric unit?

The metric unit of force and weight?
the metric unit of force and weight is a: newton
Basic metric unit of weight?
The basic metric unit for weight is the newton.
What is a metric unit for weight?
Weight is force. The metric unit of force is the Newton.
How many meters make one metric ton?
Meters are a unit of measurement of length and have no relation to weight. One metric tonne is 1000 Kilograms.
