Verified Answer :

The force of gravity acting on an object

Answer:

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

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)=\(mass(m)\times acceleration(a)\)

Acceleration due to gravity = \(9.80m/s^2\)

Putting in the values we get,

\(1 kg\times m/s^2=1kgms^{-2}=1Newton(N)\).
