Which of these can be measured in units known as 'newtons'?
Correct answer: Force

Weight is also considered a force, i.e. when you calculate the load on a beam you consider the weight as lbf (for pounds force.)

The objection raised by several people here is correct -- weight is by definition a force and therefore can be measured in Newtons. The answer choices should be updated.

JazzLicks, Nope. Weight is a force (= mass x acceleration due to gravity). kg is a unit of mass, not weight. In SI units, weight is in Newtons (kg m/s^2).

Weight only matters if there is gravity, otherwise it's force from something else.

Newton was a genius.

jingels59, Ah, but weight is irrelevant, in a vacuum.

jingels59, No weight is considered as mass..

DandeIion, what about the acceleration?

Weight is a force, pressure is force over area so weight and force have the same unit (newton in SI system), pressure is expressed in Pascals.

JazzLicks, unit of pressure is normally Bar or Kg/cm2
