Question

What is meant by weight?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The most common definition of weight found in introductory physics textbooks defines weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity. This is often expressed in the formula W = mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.

• Other units: pound-force (lbf)
• In SI base units: kg⋅m⋅s−2
• SI unit: newton (N)
