Weight converter

The weight and mass of an object are different concepts in terms of physics, but under normal conditions, weight is directly proportional to mass. Therefore, the unit of weight converter can equally well be used for both concepts when the question is about converting the mass of an object into other units of measurement. According to the international system of units (SI), the main mass unit is recognized as a kilogram equal to 1000 grams and focusing on the international prototype in the form of a metal cylinder, which is stored in France. In contrast to the metric, the English system is often used (pounds, centners, ounces), but historical methods of measuring mass continue to be used in different countries. This unit of weight converter takes this into account and can be used both for practical calculations and in travel, and for working with historical materials, in school. How to use the unit of weight converter: For easy conversion from one to another and within one system, enter the mass value opposite the corresponding unit of measure, for example, 15 kg, in the "kilogram (kg)" field and press Enter. The system automatically converts the specified weight to all units in the converter.
