Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct SI unit for weight is ____
A
kilograms
B
liters
C
newtons
D
grams per milliliter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the SI unit of weight can be measured in kg⋅m/s2 (kilograms times metres per second squared) which is equal to a newton (N). Since weight is the force extended by the gravitational force on a mass it is represented by the formula W = m*g, where weight can be kg * m/s2 which is equal to N.

Detailed explanation-2: -The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).

Detailed explanation-3: -Now, since the $S.I$ force unit is Newton and the weight is also a force, this implies that Newton is also the $S.I$ weight unit. The option A is the correct answer.

Detailed explanation-4: -newton, absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units), abbreviated N. It is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second.

Detailed explanation-5: -We can not convert Kg to Newton, because Newton is a unit of Force whereas Kg is the unit of mass respectively.
