Answer:

Weight is a measure of force of gravity on an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object due to gravity of earth which pulls the object towards its center.

Weight(W)=
mass(m)* acceleration(a)

Acceleration due to gravity =
9.80m/s^2

Putting in the values we get,


1 kg* m/s^2=1kgms^(-2)=1Newton(N).
