70 kilogram-forces

Weight: 686.5 N; definition.

Weight is gravitational force. An object keeps its mass while its weight changes with local gravity.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Weight of a 70 kg person

Weight: 686.5 N; example.

A 70 kg person at standard Earth gravity. This is force in newtons, not a different mass.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked weight is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
