∙ 11y ago- Weighing traditionally means to measure the mass of an object (in the majority of cases, in the standard gravitational field of the Earth, or adjusting for other gravitational fields). Placing something (or someone) on a scale to find their weight exerts a downward force (due to gravity) on the scale. This force is proportional to mass, and allows us to determine the weight.
- However, "weighing" can also mean to determine the relative importance of a given set of factors. In this case, the factors are "weights", and they go into an equation to assign higher value to more important factors, and less value to less important factors.
