Mass and weight Remember that mass is measured in kilograms, kg, and weight is measured in newtons, N. The mass of an object stays the same wherever it is, but its weight can change. This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon.
About Pounds to Kilograms Conversion. Pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg) are perhaps the most common units of mass measure in their respective systems of measure. An accurate conversion between the two is therefore important for accurate trade, engineering, and science.ll other weights in the avoirdupois system can be expressed in a ratio to the pound and therefore in a ratio to the kilogram. For instance there are 16 ounces in a pound or put another way an ounce is 1 / 16 a pound. Therefore, an ounce is 0.45359237 / 16 a kilogram.
