What is the measurement units for weight?

The standard international unit of weight is the kilogram.Other measurement units exist, such as the pound.1 kilogram = 2.2 poundsAnswerUnfortunately, the original answer confuses 'weight' and 'mass'. The kilogram is the SI base unit for mass, NOT weight. Weight is a force and, therefore, measured in newtons. Similarly, the pound is used to measure mass, NOT weight.

What units of measurement would you use to measure weight?

You can use various units to measure weight . Among which is; Pounds, ounces, kilograms, grams etc. ====================================== I would use a scale to measure weight. After I had the results of the measurement, I could report them to others using any unit of force. Popular units of force are pounds and Newtons. Also popular as units for discussing weight are grams and kilograms, but that usage is technically incorrect, since they're both units of mass, not force. Their use in connection with weight would get you through as long as the incident stays on earth, but once the object weighed left the earth, the whole discussion would become a tower of babble.
