  2. The S.I. unit of weight is same as that of force that is Newton (N).
  3. The formula for weight is given as,
    w=mg
  4. Where, m is the mass of object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  5. The weight of the body depends on the mass of the object, and acceleration due to gravity.
  6. Weight is the vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed towards the center of the earth.

Hence, weight of an object has S.I unit of force that is Newton (N).
