People use "kilogram" for both weight and mass, but that usage is wrong.
The 'kilogram' and 'gram' are units of mass, not weight. For weight, you need a unit
of force, which is the "Newton".
If you prefer to remain lazy and say that one kilogram of mass weighs one kilogram,
you can get away with it as a grocer, an office worker, or a taxi driver. But if you
intend to become an astronaut, an astronomer, or a space-tug pilot, you'll need to
learn how to do it right. Otherwise you'll find yourself in an uncomfortable position
some day, like on the moon, where a kilogram weighs only 1/6 of a kilogram.
That would definitely lead to all kinds of confusion.
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
The unit of mass is the kilogram.
It is 10 grams. A gram is part of the metric system.
the measureable properties of an object are --> i) weight ii) mass iii) volume
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
yes
Kilograms in the metric system is used to measure mass and weight.
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).
The SI unit for mass in the metric system is the kilogram.
The unit of mass is the kilogram.

Mass is measured in kilograms.
Nothing, since a metric ton is a measure of mass, not of weight.

Measure mass and volume.
