What unit do we use for weight?
A
grams
B
kilograms
C
centimeters
D
Newtons
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: -Weight is a measure ofthe force of gravity on a physical object and is measured in newtons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glossary: Mass (weight) Units. The Metric System of Measurements uses the mass units: gram (g), kilogram (kg) and tonne (t).

Detailed explanation-4: -At average gravity on Earth (conventionally, g = 9.80665 m/s2), a kilogram mass exerts a force of about 9.8 newtons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Newton is the SI unit for weight, and 1 Newton equals 0.225 pounds.
