What is unit of measurement for weight?
Weight is measured in units called Newton, while mass is measured in units called grams and kilograms.
Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?
The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.
Are weight and mass measured in the same units?
No. Mass units include the gram, kilogram, metric ton, poundmass, and slug. Weight is measured in units of force, including newton, US ton, and poundforce. The common "pound" used to describe weight in the US customary system is the poundforce.
What are the uses of si units in your daily live?
In most of the world, everything that is measured, is measured in SI units. Time, distance, mass, weight, area, volume and so on.
Would you weight a students desk in grams or kilograms?
Neither. Both gram and kilograms are units for measuring mass, not weight. The weight would be measured in Newtons.

Can shampoo be measured in grams?
Yes, liquids like shampoo can be measured by weight/mass units as well as the usual volume units.
Can weight be measured in the metric system?
Yes, the Metric System has units for the measurement of weight...
What do you understand by the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is the force with which gravity (usually, Earth's gravity) attracts it. Weight is measured in units of force; in SI units, this is the Newton.
Weight is measured in?
Units of force, such as pound, newton, stone, etc.
What is a property that may be measured in the units of grams or kilograms?
Mass or weight.
What does the atomical number represent?
The Atomic Mass is the mass (weight) of the element measured in atomic mass units (AMU)
Can weight astronomical units and mass be measured in pounds?
Not all of them no. Weight can be measures in pounds. Mass can be measured in pounds But astronomical units are a measure of distance so these are not measured in pounds. Finally pounds are a very outmoded unit it. The international standard unit for measuring weight is the Kilogram.

What is the weight of a cat is metric units?
The weight of a cat in metric units is usually measured in kilograms (kg).
