Pounds, ounces, kilograms, grams are all a measure of Mass, not Weight.
The metric measurement for weight (which is a force) is called the Newton.
..................................................................................................................................
In the SI the unit for mass is the kilogram (kg).
The International Kilogram Prototype is stored at BIPM, in Saint Cloud, near Paris. It is a cylinder of platinum-iridium10 % alloy.

∙ 13y agoWeight and mass are different. Weight is the force of gravitation between two objects, usually the Earth and something else, while mass is the amount of matter, or "stuff" in an object.
Since weight is force and force = mass*acceleration, the unit for weight is a unit of mass times a unit for acceleration.
The SI unit for weight is in kg*m/s2, or Newtons (N)
So your weight in Newtons would be your mass in kilograms multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity of the planet you are on. If you are on Earth, you would multiply your mass in kilograms by approximately 9.81, to get your weight in Newtons.
In short, the SI units for measuring weights are Newtons, abbreviated N.
[SI units, or International System of Units/System International, is different from regular units. Different Nations/countries/systems would use different units instead of "Newtons".]

What do you do to measure weight?
There is only one metric system. The units used for your weight would be Newtons.
What unit is used to measure with a balance?
A balance is used to measure either mass or weight. The corresponding units are kilograms (for mass) and newton (for weight).
What are 2 units that scientist use to measure temperature?
To measure temperature, scientists use:KelvinCelsiusFahrenheit.
What units does the equipment use to measure the force of weight?
The pound.force, or in the SI system the Newton (1 pound.force = 4.48 Newtons)
What are to units that scientists use to measure temperature?
To measure temperature, scientists use:KelvinCelsiusFahrenheit.
What are the units use to measure weight?
pounds=english grams=metric
Can you use kilograms to measure the volume of a tank?
No - kilograms are units of weight - not volume !
What are the two units you use to measure weight?
Examples: kilogram, gram, ton, pound.
What units can be used to measure weight?
kg is the unit to measure the weight
What metric units might you use to measure the weight of a boat?
Mega Newtons, most likely.
Which two units could be used to measure weight?
In the metric system you use grams, in Standard Units you use ounces, pounds, and tons.
Do you measure volume and weight in the same units?
No.
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.
What units would you measure the weight of a pencil in?
The units grams would be a good choice.
Microgram is use to measure what in themetric system?
The answer here us weight. The gram is the International system of units (SI) designated unit for weight.
