weigh in (MEASURE). âº to âmeasure how âheavy someone is, esp. before a âcompetition: The âboxers both weighed in at 162 âpounds. (Definition of weigh in from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press).
In science and engineering, the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. Weight is a vector whose magnitude (a scalar quantity), often denoted by an italic letter W, is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g; thus: W = mg. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.
