'Weight' is a force, and can be described with any unit of force.
'Newton' is the unit of force in the SI system.
'Kilogram' is a unit of mass, not force. The weight of an amount of mass is always
the same as long as it stays on the same planet. But when that same mass leaves
the Earth and goes to other places, then its weight changes.
Since all of human history so far has taken place on the Earth, a lot of people have
gotten used to describing weights in terms the mass that has that weight on Earth.
According to that habit, 'one kilogram' is the same as 9.8 newtons of weight, or
2.205 pounds of weight. But it's not a good habit, and now that we're beginning
to do things in other places away from the Earth, the folks who are in that habit are
going to have trouble. They'll be shocked the first time they're someplace where
1 kilogram doesn't 'weigh 1 kilogram'.

∙ 14y agoYes, weight is measured in newtons as it is a force caused by the effect of gravity on an object's mass. Weight is measured by newtons, mass by kilograms.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, weight isn't measured in newtons. Force is measured in newtons. Weight is a measure of gravitational force.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNewtons is a unit of Force. Kilograms (kg) are most commonly used to express weight

What is weight usually measured in?
Weight in a scientific form is measured in Newtons (N). Which is derived from the equation F=ma. Mass in the other hand is in more common use to most people and is usually measured in Kilogrammes (Kg) or Pounds (lbs), or stones and pounds (st & lb).
How much is 300Newtons in mass?
Mass isn't measured in newtons. Force is. 300 newtons is the same as a force of about 67.5 pounds. It's the weight of about 30.6 kilograms of mass on earth.
What is the measure of the force of attraction between objects due to gravity called?
The force of gravity between two objects is measured in newtons. This is no different, technically, than what weight "should" be measured in. We use pounds and kilograms, but we should be using newtons, to be scientifically correct.
What is the force of gravity pulling on your mass measured in newtons?
weight
What is 120 in weight of newtons?
120 newtons = about 26.98 pounds.
SI measure of force and weight?

Weight is measured in units called?
Weight is measured in units called newtons , while mass is measured in units called grams and kilograms.
What is your weight in kilograms if im 110 pounds?
49.9 kg [Just as an aside: Weight is actually measured in Newtons. So if you really meant weight: 499 Newtons ]

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 Weight is usually measured in what?
Newtons
Is mass and weight mesured in kg?
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
Weight is measured using?
Weight assuming your talking about the force pulling us to the ground is measured in newtons. To find out the amount of newtons an object has you measure its mass(kilograms,grams etc.) and multiply its mass by 10. Example if a book had a mass of 1kg its weight is 10N.
What are weight and mass measured in?
Weight in Newtons Mass in kilograms
How much is 300Newtons in mass?
Mass isn't measured in newtons. Force is. 300 newtons is the same as a force of about 67.5 pounds. It's the weight of about 30.6 kilograms of mass on earth.
What unit of measurement would you use to find the weight of an elephant?
Weight for elephants could be measured in tons or pounds. For metric, weight is measured in newtons. For mass, you can use kilograms or tonnes (metric ton equal to 1000 kg). Pounds mass is possible, too.
