Wikipedia
In physics, there are various, nonequivalent definitions of the concept of weight. In one of the more common definitions, the weight of an object, often denoted by W, is defined as being equal to the force exerted on it by gravity. This force is the product of the mass m of the object and the local gravitational acceleration g.
