The amount of force of gravity exerted on an object is called Weight. Weight is generally calculated in Newtons. If no gravity acts on the body, the weight becomes zero, like in space. It implies that the weight of a particular object can vary based on the location. The dimensions of weight aid in deriving the equations or formulas and measuring an object's weight at distinct locations.

The formula used to find the weight can be expressed as

Where w represents the weight,
m determines the Mass, and
g denotes gravity.
The formula for the dimensions of weight can be written as

Where M denotes the Mass,
L illustrates the Length, and
T is the Time.
We need to follow the steps below to derive the formula for the dimensions of weight.

Or
