Hint: The gram is a mass unit used in the metric system. "The absolute weight of a volume of pure water is equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre," according to the original definition. The newton is the SI unit of force and is widely used in science, engineering, and commerce around the world.

Complete answer:
1.Newton, abbreviated N, is an absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units).
2.It is defined as the force required to provide a mass of one kilogram with a one metre per second per second acceleration.
3.In the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, one newton equals 100,000dynes or about 0.2248pound in the foot-pound-second (English, or customary) system.
4.The newton is named after Sir Isaac Newton; whose second law of motion describes how a force can change a body's motion.
5. Weight is defined as the force exerted on a body by gravity, according to the most common definition found in introductory physics textbooks.
6.This is commonly expressed as , W=mg where W is the weight, m is the object's mass, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Note:
The weight of an object, according to the operational definition, is the force measured by the weighing operation, which is the force it exerts on its support. Because W is the downward force exerted on the body by the earth's center and there is no acceleration in the body, there is an equal and opposite force exerted on the body by the support. Also, because action and reaction have the same numerical value and the same direction, they are equal to the force exerted by the body on its support.
