Answer 2

That is a Newton.

Weight is a force due to gravity.

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, which is a particular case of Newtons Second Law F = m * a.

The unit of force is a Newton  so a mass of 2 kilograms  = m* g  so its weight in newtons = 2 * 9.81 = 19.62 Newtons.

1 Newton is  the force causing 1 kilogram to accelerate at 9.81 ms-2.
