In Newtons, which are Kilogram meters per second, or Km/s2. It is measured as a force.
It is also common to refer to the acceleration of gravity or "g" and describe it merely as an acceleration, since the gravity of an object accelerates all other objects at the same rate (if the distances involved are about the same). 'g' is almost always defined by earth's gravitational acceleration at it's surface, of 9.8KG/s2, and is used as the standard unit.

No. First, gravity is a phenomenon not something you can measure. What you can measure is the force due to gravity which is measured in "Newtons" , or the acceleration due to gravity, which is measured in meters per second per second. I can't think of anything about gravity that would be measured in cubic centimeters, or cubic anything.
Weight = Mass * Acceleration due to Gravity. In the SI system, Mass is measured in kilograms, g, the acceleration due to gravity, is normally taken to be 9.8 (or 9.81) ms-2, and Weight is measured in Newtons.
mass*acceleration due to gravity.
W is the weight (or force of gravity) measured in Newtons (N), m is the mass of the object measured in kilograms (kg), and g is the acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per second squared (m/s2), which is typically equal to -9.81 m/s2 above the Earth's surface.
Weight is a force - the force with which gravity attracts an object. Therefore, being a force, it is measured in unites of force, usually Newtons.
