What is weight measured in ???

Weight is define by your mass times the acceleration due to gravity where you are.  So you mass is the same anywhere in the universe but your weight will be effected by where you are.  Now what is weight measured in?  This is dependent on the units you use for mass and acceleration.  Using kilograms for mass and m/s^2 for acceleration you will get newtons.  Use slugs and ft/s^2 you get a pound-force.  Using a standard equivalence between pounds and kilograms you get kilogram-force.  Many people think kilograms is a measure of weight when it really is not, its kilograms-force.  There should be somewhere on most scales that will show a lbf or kgf instead of just lb or kg.  Newtons is the standard SI unit of measure though.\n\nEdit: when i say acceleration, i mean acceleration due to gravity.  Weight *is* a unit of force.\n\nhoarp001:  Weight is a unit of force, all the units you put there are units of mass, not weight.\n\nzeno : "From other experiments, we know that g, or acceleration by free fall is actually an acceleration of 9.8N at sea level"  G is acceleration due to gravity.  According to your "9.8N" your mass would be a kg*N, not newtons.  Pay attention to your units, especially since he was asking a unit question.  Standard SI would be 9.8 meters / second^2, CGS would be 980 centimeters / second^2.  If using standard engineering units, it would be 32 feet / second^2.  Bascially anything that is a length per time ^2.

U can a measure the mass of an object accurately using a Physical Balance.\nUnit of mass is kg in SI unit ysstem.\nMore accurate ways of measuring mass is done now.\n\nU can calculate it's weight by a formulae:\nW=mg.\nW-Wieght\nm-mass\ng-aceleration due to gravity (9.8 ms^-2)

What you need to find out is the BMI or body mass index.  Look it up online or textbook and what it basically is is a number ranging from around 18.5 to 30 and its a measure of body fat based on weight and height.

Relative body weight is body weight relative to height.  It's also referred to as BMI and used as a rough tool to indirectly measure body composition because it correlates highly with body fat in most people (but not all).\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html\n\nA more accurate representation of your health is body composition \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodycomp.html\n\nEven waist-hip ratio has been found to be more accurate than BMI:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/waist_hip_ratio.html

Well, what quality to you want to measure -  size?  The weight?  The density?

Weight times density yeilds volume. You need it's density before you can compute it's volume.\n\nOnly with materials (like water) where the specific gravity is 1(implying 1ml of water weighs one gram) are you able to convert fluid measurements to/from weight, without explicit multiplication/division.

You cannot convert Volume into weight, you need more information.\n=)

here you go:\n\nBMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches ) ) x 703

Weigh the whole bag.\n\nWhat items "represent" the bag?\n\nWhere does it say you can't weight the whole bag, except in your tirade afterthought?

What are u measuring?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index\n\nit's obtained by dividing your weight by the square of your height in metres. In formulae, it's\n\nBMI = Weight (kg) / [Height (in metres)]^2

mass is the amount of matter, weight is the force gravity exerts on an object. mass stays the same, but weight changes if you go to the moon etc.

A BMI (Body Max Index)calculation  may help. It can tell you if you are in the average weight for your height. This is by no means a perfect measure, as it doesn't take into account individual factors, like %muscle, body shape, but is usually accepted as a reasonable comment on body shape\n\nThe calculation is in Imperial weights\nBMI = (Weight in Pounds divide by      \n(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)) x 703 \n\nMetric\nBMI = Weight in Kilograms divide by           \n(Height in Meters) x (Height in Meters) \n\nA figue between 19 and 25 is a normal healthy weight\n\nI've also included an online calculator to do the calculation for you. The top link is imperial measures, the bottom is metric

MASS / VOLUME\n that's way you measure it in g/mL

yeah.. what do you want to measure????? be more specific.
