to get weight multiply by acceleration of gravity which is 9.81 m/s/s. 5 x 9.81 = 49.05 kgm/s/s = 49.05 Newtons

The mass of a potato is certainly more than 5 g and definitely less than 5 kg.
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
If a student had a mass of 195 kg, then his weight on earth was 1,911 newtons, or about 430 pounds.
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
A student with a mass of 90 kg on the earth (gravity =9.8m/s/s) will have a weight of 882 Newtons. Weight = Mass * Gravity
