Weight in a scientific form is measured in Newtons (N). Which is derived from the equation F=ma.
Mass in the other hand is in more common use to most people and is usually measured in Kilogrammes (Kg) or Pounds (lbs), or stones and pounds (st & lb).

How is gunpowder measured?
Gunpowder is usually measured in grain weight. 7,000 grains = 1 pound
How are the mass and the weight of an object measured?
Mass being matter contained in a body is usually measured by beam balance or physical balance whereas weight is measured by a spring balance for it depends on gravitational pull of a particular place and can be zero.
How do you make a sentence with the word decibel?
Weight is measured in kilos, liquid is measured in litres and sound is measured in decibels.
How do you measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder?
The easiest way is to place the graduated cylinder on a scale or balance and measure the weight. You would then calculate from the weight (a force measured in kg, usually) to determine the mass.
Weight is measured as the downward force of?
gravity
What is the weight of a body measured with?
Usually the weight of a body is measured with a scale of some sort.
What Weight is usually measured in what?
Newtons
How is weight commonly measured?

What unit of measurement is used to weigh mercury?
Mercury is usually measured in grams since it is usually used in quantities where the magnitude is best measured in grams. It really depends on what you are using it for as to what unit of weight is best suited for measuring it. It obviously can be measured in any unit of weight.
Which metric units would you use to find the weight of a baby?
Weight is a force, so weight is measured in newton. However, when people talk about a person's "weight" they usually mean its "mass" - people tend to confuse that. Mass is measured in kilograms.

What is weight measured in Europe?
In Europe, weight is measured in Kilograms.
What do you understand by the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is the force with which gravity (usually, Earth's gravity) attracts it. Weight is measured in units of force; in SI units, this is the Newton.
Is measure milk by volume or weight?
Milk is measured by volume. It is not measured by weight.
Is weight mass or force?
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.
