The weight of any body is the force with which earth attracts the body towards its centre. It is product of mass of body and accelration due to gravity (g) . And value of g varies along the earth from pole to equator .But in genral we take the value of g to be 9.81 m/s^2
Hence , in your case weight of that body will be
10kg *9.81m/s^2=98.1 N
