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.
The stone or stone weight (abbreviation: st. ) is an English and imperial unit of weight or mass now equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds (6.35029318 kg).ith the advent of metrication, Europe's various stones were superseded or adapted to the kilogram from the mid-19th century on. The stone continues in customary use in Britain and Ireland for measuring body weight, but was prohibited for commercial use in the UK by the Weights and Measures Act of 1985.
