Kilogram
-
B.
Second
-
C.
Newton
-
D.
Metre
Correct Answer:
C. Newton
Explanation:
The SI unit of weight is the newton (N). In physics, weight is defined as the force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration of gravity. Because weight is a measure of force rather than mass, it is measured using the same SI unit as force. While mass is measured in kilograms, the gravitational pull on that mass results in weight, which is expressed in newtons.
