Question

What do you mean by weight of an object.

Answer 1

1. Weight of an object is the amount of gravitational force applied by the Earth on that object.
2. Weight can be measured by using a spring balance.
3. It of a given by,

$$\begin{gathered} w=mg \\ Where, \\ m=mass \\ g=accelerationduetogravity \end{gathered}$$

Since the weight is a force its unit is Newton.

Hence, the Weight of an object is the amount of gravitational force applied by the Earth on that object.
