Definition

force (force) acting on a body in the gravitational field of Earth:

$F_{g} = m g$

where $m$ (mass) is the mass of the body and $g$ is the local acceleration of free fall (ISO 80000-3: Space and time)

force (force) s'exerçant sur un corps dans le champ de gravitation de la Terre :

$F_{g} = m g$

où $m$ (mass) est la masse du corps et $g$ est l'accélération locale due à la pesanteur (ISO 80000-3: Space and time)

Notes

In colloquial language, the name "weight" continues to be used where "mass" is meant. This practice should be avoided.

Weight is an example of a gravitational force. Weight comprises not only the local gravitational force but also the local centrifugal force due to the rotation of the Earth.

Dans le langage courant, le terme « poids » continue à être utilisé au lieu de « masse ». Il convient d'éviter cette pratique.

Le poids est un exemple de force de gravitation. Le poids comprend non seulement la force de gravitation locale, mais aussi la force centrifuge locale due à la rotation de la Terre.
