-- The acceleration of gravity has units of [ meters/second2 ] .

On or near the Earth's surface, it's about 9.8 of them.

-- The force of gravity has units of [ Newtons ]. On or near the

Earth's surface, it's about 9.8 of them per kilogram of mass.

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.


Is the metric unit that is used to describe weight as a mesure of the force of gravity is called a Newton?

The unit of force in the SI (metric) system is the Newton. It's used to describe any force, no matter where the force came from. "Weight" is a good example of a gravitational force.
