Weight may be expressed in Newtons or in lbf units..

A Newton is the weight of 1.0 kg of mass subjected to a given gravitational acceleration.

W = ( 1.0 kg ) ( 9.807 m/s^2 ) = 1.0 N

A weight of 1.000 lbf is the weight of 1.0 lbm subjected to a given gravitational acceleration.

W = ( 1.0 lbf ) = ( 1.0 lbm ) ( 32.17 ft/s^2 )/ ( 32.17 lbm. - ft / lbf - s^2 )

1.0 lbf = 4.448 N

In the metric system: Newton

and

in the Imperial system: Poundal.

Kilograms and pounds are NOT units for measuring weight. They measure mass which is not the same thing.
