How do you measure the weight of an object?

1. The weight of an object is defined as the force with which it is attracted by the earth.
2. The magnitude of the weight (W) is defined by the expression W = mg, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
3. The SI unit of weight is Newton (N).
4. Hence, we can measure the weight of an object by multiplying its mass (m) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) where the object is located.
