(b) What is the unit of weight?
(c) Name the device used for measuring the weight of an objectव्हाट इज वेट ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the 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.

A Beam balance (or Beam scale) is a device to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, weight balances, or simply scales, balances, or balance scales.

Answer 2

Answer:

(a). In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity. Some standard textbooks define weight as a vector quantity, the gravitational force acting on the object. Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the magnitude of the gravitational force.

(b) 1gigatonne (Gt) =1 000 000 000 000 000 g

1 kilogram (kg) =1 000 g

1 gram (g) =1 g

1 milligram (mg) =0.001 g

1 microgram (µg) =0.000 001 g

(c) A Beam balance (or Beam scale) is a device to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, weight balances, or simply scales, balances, or balance scales.

A mechanical scale or balance is used to describe a weighing device that is used to measure the mass, force exertion.
