Measuring Mass and Volume: Measuring Weight

The video tutorial explains how to measure the weight of matter using various tools like scales and balances. It introduces the concept of measuring weight in newtons, a unit of force, and provides a formula to calculate weight using mass and acceleration due to gravity. The tutorial includes examples to illustrate the calculation of weight in newtons and compares weights in different units such as pounds and kilograms for everyday understanding.
