Question

How is weight of the book measured?

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight is the measure of how heavy an object is. Weight is measured in standard customary units.

The mass of an object is the amount of material it contains. Mass is measured in standard metric units.

For everyday purposes, when you're on the surface of the earth, the difference is not important. But if you measure something on another planet, its mass will be the same as it is on earth—but its weight will be different. (Weight depends on gravity, and gravity is different on other planets! This is why when you're floating in space, you're weightless. You still have mass, though,)

Answer 2

• As a universal rule, you weigh light books in grams and heavier books in kilograms. You weigh books in grams either because they are light or because you are measuring small amounts of them say, a few pages of a book or a cover of the book.

• The weight or mass of a book is measured by devices known as a scale or balance and these devices are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, and weight balances.

• The average weight of a book is 5 ounces or 143 grams. Besides, 2.2 pounds which are equal to one kilogram is equal to three books with a collective page count of 150.

• Recycled paper and thin paper are generally used for producing new books, and this affects book weight.

Hence, the weight of the book is measured in mostly grams and is measured by device such as scale or balance.
