Question

Define the term weight and write the non-standard units of weight. ​

Answer 1

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. Although weight and mass are scientifically distinct quantities, the terms are often confused with each other in everyday use (i.e. comparing and converting force weight in pounds to mass in kilograms and vice versa).

Further complications in elucidating the various concepts of weight have to do with the theory of relativity according to which gravity is modeled as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime. In the teaching community, a considerable debate has existed for over half a century on how to define weight for their students. The current situation is that a multiple set of concepts co-exist and find use in their various contexts.

Answer 2

Answer:

, 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.

In SI base units: kg⋅m⋅s−2

Other units: pound-force (lbf)

Cups come in different shapes and sizes, so a cupful isn't a fixed amount or weight - unless you use a standard measuring cup. A non-standard unit of measurement is one that isn't fixed. In the salt dough recipe, the amounts of flour, salt and water you use will vary depending on the size of your cup.
