The unit of mass in SI is the kilogram (kg).

The unit of weight (force) in SI is newton (N).

The confusion between mass and weight is very frequent and unfortunate.

How do you find out a weight in mass?

You use the formula weight = mass x gravity. In SI units, the gravity is 9.8 meters per second square, weight is in Newtons, mass is in kilograms.You use the formula weight = mass x gravity.

How do you convert units of weight and mass?

In the metric system (really called SI) weight is measured in units of newtons (lower case n to emphasize we are not talking about the scientist) and mass is in units of kilograms. W = mg (g =9.8) so weight in newtons equals mass in kilograms times 9.8.

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.
