1 kg Weight is Equal to

1 kg weight is equal to ____?

Answer: Kilogram weight is force, the kilogram is actually a term that means “mass”. 

• Mass is a constant. It’s the same everywhere. 
• Well, weight is not a constant. This is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the gravitational acceleration (9.8 meters/second). 
• Therefore, the weight depends on the body on which it is placed. For example, what weighs 60 kg on Earth is only 6 kg on the Moon. 
• This is because the value of the variable “gravitational acceleration” varies from body to body (gravity is also based on mass). 
• By multiplying this acceleration by the constant “mass”, the weight of the object can be calculated. 
• Weight is actually a kind of force that humans have popularized for their daily needs. 
• The weight of a kilogram is force. This is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (that is 9.8 ms-2) therefore, 1 newton (N) = 1 * 9.8 ms-2= 9.8 kg metres per second squared
