newton
Technically speaking weight is measured in newtons, but newtons are used to measure force. Weight in the scientific sense is the force a body exerts due to the effect of gravity on it's mass. Gravity on earth has an accelerating effect of roughly ten metres per second per second. So weight is mass, in kilograms, multiplied by ten. Newtons are a derived unit made up of kilogram metres per second per second.
In everyday use weight is taken as a synonym for mass; so recipes, people, buses, etc. are weighed in kilograms.

What is a metric unit of measurement for mass is called?
A metric unit of measurement for mass is called a gram.
Define a metric unit?
A metric unit is a decimal unit of measurement of the metric system, based on meters and kilograms and seconds.
Is a gram measurement of a weight in the metric system?
Yes, its the base unit for measuring mass.
What metric unit of measurement would best be used to measure the mass of a turkey?
grams or meters weight or length
What is the metric unit of measurement similar to an inch in the English system?
The metric unit of measurement similar to an inch in the English system is the centimeter.
Is a kilogram used as a measurement for weight?
yes, it is the unit for metric unit for weight.
Is kilograms a metric unit?
Yes, kilograms is a metric unit of measurement used for expressing mass. It is commonly used to measure the weight of objects in the metric system.
What is the most useful measurement for weight?
The most common measurement for weight is kilograms (kg). That is the metric S.I. (systéme internationale d'unites) unit for weight.
What is a measurement of weight in the standard measurement system?
the metric system is based on 1 cc of water weighing 1 gram Correction cc is not an acceptable metric symbol; a cubic centimetre is cm3 Nothing can "weigh" 1 gram - it's not a unit of weight though an object may have a mass of 1 g. The question seems to ask for any unit of weight measurement in "the standard measurement system" without defining what is meant. A metric weight unit is the newton, assuming "the standard measurement system" is SI. In the "standard" US measurement system a weight unit is a pound.
Kilograms are a unit of measurement for?
Kilograms in the metric system is used to measure mass and weight.
What is the standard (or SI) unit of measurement for mass?
the metric system is based on 1 cc of water weighing 1 gram Correction cc is not an acceptable metric symbol; a cubic centimetre is cm3 Nothing can "weigh" 1 gram - it's not a unit of weight though an object may have a mass of 1 g.

What is the metric measurement of weight?
The unit for mass that is most commonly associated with the metric system is the kilogram. Strictly speaking, "weight", which is a type of force, is measured in Newtons.
What unit of measurement do scientists use to weight things?
generally, grams. Grams is also the unit of measurement for the majority of the world.
What is a metric unit of measurement for mass is called?
A metric unit of measurement for mass is called a gram.
What does gms in weight mean?
"Gms" in weight stands for grams, which is a unit of measurement used to quantify the mass of an object. It is a commonly used metric unit for measuring small quantities of weight.
The metric unit of force and weight?
the metric unit of force and weight is a: newton
Basic metric unit of weight?
