What is weight force?

Answer 1

Weight is a force because force is defined as a push or pull on an object, and due to an object's mass on earth,another force (gravity) pulls on an object. The measure of weight(Fg) is the force gravity acting on an object. The force gravity is always directed downward.

Answer 2

WeightIn the trading of goods, weight is taken to mean the same as mass, and is measured in kilograms. Scientifically, however, it is normal to state that the weight of a body is the gravitational force acting on it and hence it should be measured in newtons (abbreviation N), and that this force depends on the local acceleration due to gravity. To add to the confusion, a weight (or weightpiece) is a calibrated mass normally made from a dense metal.

So, unfortunately, weight has three meanings and care should always be taken to appreciate which one is meant in a particular context.

ForceForce is a measure of the interaction between bodies. It takes a number of forms including short-range atomic forces, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity, with both direction and magnitude.

Answer 3

The weight of an object represents the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the object by the planet, less the effect of immersion in any fluid.

Answer 4

It's the downward force that must be apposed to prevent an object from sinking into the Earth.

Answer 5

Weight is the force of gravity as applied to mass.

Answer 6

it's a force
