The measure of the force of gravity that is acted upon a body is known as its weight. It is denoted by w. In mathematical terms, weight can be described as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
W = mg
Since weight is considered a force, its SI unit is also considered as the same as that of force which is Newton (N). The weight of a body is dependent on two factors, according to the expression of weight, which are the mass which is constant, and acceleration due to gravity which might differ in different places.
