Remember that the British unit “pounds” is a force, but the SI unit “kilograms” is a mass. So an object of 1 kg near the surface of the earth, has a “weight” of. F = mg = (1kg) (9.8 m/s2 ) = 9.8 N which is 2.2 pounds. On the moon where the gravity is 1/6 of the earth’s, the mass will still be 1 kg.

Using Galileo’s result and Newton’s second law, we can derive an equation for weight. Consider an object with mass m falling toward Earth. It experiences only the downward force of gravity, which is the weight w → w → .
Calculate mass: how much matter there is in an object; and weight: the pull of gravity on the object. Use Newton’s Second Law for acceleration of free fall.
Weight = mass x gravity (9.8 m/s2) Units: kg . m/s2 or Newtons (N) Work = Force x distance W = F x d Units: Joules (J) Rearranged : Force = Work ÷ distance Units: Newtons
The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force , its SI unit is the newton.
