Standard gravity is measured as 9.8 meters per second squared. This is then multiplied by the mass of something to get the force of gravity on it, which is expressed in Newtons.
Weight is the measure of the force with which the Earth's gravity is pulling an object to its center. Since it is a measure of force, it is often expressed in Newtons.
well, you measure in newtons
well, you measure in newtons

No. The force of gravity is measured in newtons, like any other force.

"Gravitation" doesn't really have units. Weight, which is the force experienced by an object due to gravity, is a force, so it's expressed in force units: newtons. A newton is a kilogram - meter per second squared expressed in SI base units.
Weight. W = mg, where W is weight, m is mass in kg, and g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2. The resulting unit is kg•m/s2, which is a Newton.
The standard (SI) unit for force is the newton. Non-standard units include pounds-force (that is, the force exerted by a mass of 1 pound under normal gravity), kilogram-force (same idea), and others.
force is expressed in newton because newton discovered force
Newtons are (kg m)/sec^2 which is a measure of force, not mass Improved answer: Kilograms are a measure of mass and also of force which varies with the gravity of the context. 10,000 newtons is equivalent to the force exerted by a mass (on Earth) of 1,000 kilograms (2,205 pounds).
