Metric measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The metric unit for force - any force - is the newton.
Is weight a metric or a customary unit?
Weight is a measure of the force exerted on a body by gravity. It can be measured in any recognized unit, either metric or old fashioned.
What is the metric unit that is used to describe weight as a measure of the force of gravity?
the Newton (N)

What is the metric unit of capacity of a teardrop?
The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre. The metric unit is a millilitre.
What is the mass of a cubic centimeter in metric tons?
This question is impossible to answer. A cubic centimeter is a unit of volume. A metric ton is a unit of weight (mass, relative to Earth's gravity) A metric ton of ice cream will have a different volume (cubic centimeters) than a metric ton of lead.
What is the metric unit of weight or mass?
Metric unit of mass is Kilogram and that of weight is Newton. Hope I am not wrong You are not wrong. A Newton is a unit of FORCE and weight is the force of gravity acting upon a mass. Mass is the quantity of matter in something. Gravity acts upon a mass and the force of gravity acting upon it is called it's weight. Why make a distinction you may ask? Because the force of gravity is different in different places on our planet. The weight of a mass on the moon would be a lot less than it's weight on earth because gravity on the moon pulls down with a lot less force than gravity on our earth. This concept is very important to scientists and Physicists and Engineers, when they make calculations.
What you a metric unit of volume?
I not a metric unit of anything! A litre is one metric unit for volume.
Is a decameter a customary unit or a metric unit?
