(weight) force = newtons, 1 kilogram force = 9.80665 newtons
Weight is one name for force. Any unit of force may be used to describe it.
A few popular units of force include
-- pound
-- ounce
-- dyne
-- newton
-- ton
-- stone.
The basic unit of weight in the metric system is the newton (N)
The basic unit of mass in the metric system is the kilogram (kg)
The basic unit of mass in the English system is the pound (lb)
The basic unit of weight in the English system is the ?????
is it also the lb or do we just always use say this incorrectly?????
weight is different than mass in that the weight is the product of mass by the acceleration or gravity. So, weight is a force as pound force, kilogram force, ... etc.
Since weight is a force, it is measured in joules .
pound or gram, i think its grams
SI unit of weight is Kg
Pound
Pounds
The international standard unit for weight is the GramAnswerNo, the international (SI) unit for weight which, of course, is the force due to gravity, is the newton. The kilogram (not gram!) is the SI base unit for mass, not force.
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.
Grams are a standard unit of weight or mass so one would be exactly 260 grams heavy.
is meant by measurement in che mistry
Mass is measured in grams {as its basic unit.} Mass is also measured in kilograms (kg), and milligrams (mg.)
kg
The SI unit of force is the "newton". Weight is a force.
Since a weight is a force, the unit for force, i.e. the newton, is used.
Newton.
newton
The international standard unit for weight is the GramAnswerNo, the international (SI) unit for weight which, of course, is the force due to gravity, is the newton. The kilogram (not gram!) is the SI base unit for mass, not force.
A kilogram measures the mass of an object(SI). If you are looking for the SI unit of volume, it is liters, or kiloliters.
A basic unit of weight in the metric system is a Newton and that is not equivalent to 39.37 of any standard units in any standard system.
(weight) force = newtons, 1 kilogram force = 9.80665 newtons
grams Correction: The gram is a unit of mass, not weight. The kilogram, not the gram, is the base unit of mass. The SI unit for weight is the newton, but it's a derived unit calculated using mass and gravitational pull.
Umm... kilograms.
It stands for standard Weight, the unit for light intensity.
