Unit of Weight: The unit of weight is typically expressed in force or mass. In the SI (International System of Units) system, the standard unit for mass is the kilogram (kg), while the standard unit for force is the Newton (N). However, in common usage, weight is often measured in units such as pounds (lb) or ounces (oz) in the imperial system or in units such as grams (g) or kilograms (kg) in the metric system. It’s important to note that weight and mass are not the same thing, and weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and depends on the object’s mass and the strength of the gravitational field. Weight is expressed as:
