hi, did you know that the unit "KG" or kilogram is actually mass? Well, if u knew than why when people ask u what is your WEIGHT u say its "??" KG? hah got u there!.
well weight is actually measured in Newtons [N] so when people ask you for your weight, u can actually answer as 'i am 450n' well how do u calculate your newtons?
its actually very simple.. your MASS x 10. and yes the weighing machine measures your MASS not your weight[newton]. anyway the reason for this common misunderstanding is due to well.. saying newton is quite strange :D so people do prefer using weight as it is more widely understood. but renember if ur sitting for your GCSE o Levels, dont say KG is the standard unit[SI unit] for Weight, You'll waste marks :D and to girls, next time anybody asks for your weight tell it to them. but change it to newton!. P.S Mass SI unit is KG and Weight SI unit is newton!
