The metric unit of weight (or any other force - such as that of a stretched spring, or a bat striking a ball, or a locomotive pulling a train) is called the newton. One newton is defined as the amount of force required to cause one kilogram to accelerate one meter per second every second.

That’s nice, you have told me the SI unit of force is the Newton (which somehow seems eerily similar to something I wrote in one of my own posts). But what I asked about was what was the SI unit of mass? I guess it isn’t the Newton, because, as you say, that’s a unit of force. So what is the SI unit of mass? Thanks in advance.

On an unrelated note, could you please tell me what “pwn3d” means. Thanks in advance again.

Yoo hoo! Still awaiting your enlightenment about what is the SI unit for mass.

And what “pwn3d” means.

Thanks in advance.
