Solution

The correct option is B

newton


The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is Newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.
