(NOTE: As its presence has not been explained, I have assumed in the answer of this question that the '3.5 newtons' in the question represents the total weight of the object)
To answer this, we shall use the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration (F=MA)
Now, I assume when you say 'How heavy is....', you mean 'What is the mass of...'. Therefore, the equation should be rewritten so that the Mass can be obtained:
F=MA; Therefore M=F/A
We have the value for Force (3.5N), and the acceleration due to gravity (A) is generally accepted as being 9.8ms^-2 (to 2 significant figures, like the F value).
Therefore, by plugging them into the equation:
M = 3.5/9.8
Therefore the mass of the concrete block is 0.36kg (or 360g).

how many block does it cost 100 by 100 plot to fence
A mass of 100 pounds, weighs approx 444.5 Newtons. A kilogram is not a measure of weight, a Newton is.
110.01 = 11001/100 as a top heavy fraction
Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.79 m/sec2. Therefore, if the mass is 100 kg, you won't weight 900 Newton, you'll weigh 2479 Newton.
