- The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg)
Weight
- The weight of an object is defined as the gravitational force acting on the object.
- The SI unit of weight is Newton (N)
Differences between Weight and Mass
| Weight | Mass |
| Depends on the gravitational field strength | Independent from the gravitational field strength |
| Vector quantity | Scalar Quantity |
| Unit Newton (N) | Unit: Kilogram (kg) |
