Question

The SI unit of weight is ______

Answer 1

1. The weight of an object is the gravitational force acting on it.
2. The force that pulls the body towards the earth equals the body's weight on the ground.
3. It is determined by the mass.
4. It also depends on the object's downward acceleration due to gravity, which is constant around the earth.
5. The equation to find weight, $F=m·g$

where $F$ is force or weight, $m$is the mass of the object, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

6. As weight is a type of force so its SI unit is newton.

Hence, the SI unit of weight is newton.
