Metric unit of mass is Kilogram and that of weight is Newton.
Hope I am not wrong You are not wrong. A Newton is a unit of FORCE and weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. Mass is the quantity of matter in something. Gravity acts upon a mass and the force of gravity acting upon it is called it's weight. Why make a distinction you may ask? Because the force of gravity is different in different places on our planet. The weight of a mass on the moon would be a lot less than it's weight on earth because gravity on the moon pulls down with a lot less force than gravity on our earth. This concept is very important to scientists and Physicists and Engineers, when they make calculations.

In the metric system the appropriate unit for weight is the?
Not sure there is a definitive answer, or that there is a 'metric' system, but the S.I. unit of weight is the Kilogram (N.B. not the gram).
What would you measure human weight in using the metric system?
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
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 is standard metric unit of mass?
The metric standard unit of mass is the kilogram (Kg).
The metric unit for measuring mass?
The SI (metric) unit for mass is the kilogram.
What metric unit do you use to weigh a math book?
The metric (SI) unit for weight is the newton, since weight is a force. When people talk about "weight", they sometimes actually mean "mass". The unit for mass is the kilogram.
What is the weight or mass of a parakeet Metric unit?
Tape measure
What metric unit would you use to measure the mass of your weight?
Mass is measured in kilograms.
What is the unit of metric?
The gram is a unit of mass, not weight. Weight is measured in newtons.Since a weight is a force, in the SI (International System) it is measured in newtons.You may be looking for the unit of mass (since people tend to confuse mass and weight); the SI unit of mass is the kilogram.

What is the metric unit of capacity that is a little more than 2 pounds?
The pound is a unit of weight or mass, not capacity. A kilogram is a metric unit of mass slightly greater than 2 pounds .
What would you measure human weight in using the metric system?
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
What is the basic unit of weight in the metric system?
Note that weight actually refers to force exerted due to the acceleration of gravity and the mass of an object. It is commonplace to see the terms weight and mass used interchangeably, though. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram. The original metric system specified the gram as the base mass unit. The SI base unit of force, which technically would be the correct unit of weight is the Newton (kg*m/s2). The dyne is another 'metric' unit of force (g*cm/s2).
Metric unit for measuring weight?
The SI unit for measuring weight (the force due to gravity) is the newton.The SI unit for measuring mass is the kilogram.
How much does a gram equal in metric unit?
It appears that you don't understand that the unit 'gram' IS a metric unit used to quantify the mass, or more conventially, the weight, of an object.
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.
