SI Unit of weight is Newton (N)
The SI unit of weight is the Newton (N). It measures the force exerted by gravity on an object and is equivalent to 1 kilogram meter per second squared (kg⋅m/s²).
The weight of an object depends on its mass and the acceleration due to gravity in the specific location where the object is situated. On Earth, weight is commonly expressed in newtons (N) or kilograms (kg), with the acceleration due to gravity typically approximated as 9.8 m/s2.
The formula to calculate weight is,
W = m x g
where,
- W is the weight,
- m is the mass of the object, and
- g is the acceleration due to gravity.
