	What is Weight?
		Weight is the force generated by the gravitational attraction of the earth on the airplane.
		Weight is a force, and a force is a vector quantity having both a magnitude and a direction associated with it.
		The weight is distributed throughout the airplane, but we can often think of it as collected and acting through a single point called the center of gravity.

	Weight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kilogram-force is a non-SI unit of weight, defined as the weight force exerted by one kilogram.
		The weight force that we actually sense is not the downward force of gravity, but the normal (upward) force exerted by the surface we stand on, which opposes gravity and prevents us falling to the center of the Earth.
		Weight (or mass) may be measured indirectly with a balance, which compares the item in question to another of known weight (or mass).

	Human weight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weight in measuring human body weight in the medical sciences and in sports is a measurement of mass (so not the meaning of weight common in physics jargon), expressed in units of mass such as kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb).
		The average weight for male adults in the United States is about 76 to 83 kg (168 to 183 lb).
		For female teenagers the average weight is 45 to 57 kg (100 to 126 lb).

	Women's weight found to affect job, income - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Nation - News
		Weight can have startling consequences for women's financial well-being, careers, and marriage prospects, according to research that found that women -- but not men -- suffer economic harm from being overweight.
		In fact, the effect of weight on women's fortunes was so strong, that women with high school diplomas will have the same future household income as women with a four-year college degree but who weigh twice as much, according to the study.
		Much of the economic effect of weight on women's fortunes, the study found, occurs not because of job discrimination but marriage discrimination: Heavier women are more likely to end up marrying lower-income men or to be single.

	Model Rocket Weight
		Weight is the force generated by the gravitational attraction of a planet on the mass of a rocket.
		Weight is related to the mass through the weight equation and each part of a rocket has a unique weight and mass.
		The total weight W of the rocket is simply the sum of the weight of all of the individual components.

		Weight cycling is the repeated loss and regain of body weight.
		Weight cycling has not been proven to increase the amount of fat tissue in people who lose and regain weight.

	The Physics Classroom
		The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object.
		On the other hand, the weight of an object (measured in Newtons) will vary according to where in the universe the object is. Weight depends upon which planet is exerting the force and the distance the object is from the planet.
		Weight, being equivalent to the force of gravity, is dependent upon the value of g (acceleration of gravity).

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Religion (Soul Man)
		This loss of weight could not be due to evaporation of respiratory moisture and sweat, because that had already been determined to go on, in his case, at the rate of one sixtieth of an ounce per minute, whereas this loss was sudden and large, three-fourths of an ounce in a few seconds.
		MacDougall repeated his experiment with fifteen dogs and observed that "the results were uniformly negative, no loss of weight at death." This result seemingly corroborated MacDougall's hypothesis that the loss in weight recorded as humans expired was due to the soul's departure from the body, since (according to his religious doctrine) animals have no souls.
		The weight of the soul he has determined to be from one-half ounce to nearly an ounce and a quarter.

	Background on Mass, Weight and Density
		Weight: If you can finally accept the concept mass even if we have been unable to define it, weight is easy: The weight of a mass is the force that the earth pulls on the mass.
		It would be correct to say, no matter where you might be in the universe that "the weight of a mass is the force of gravity on the mass." In the metric system force is measured in newtons hence weight is also measured in newtons.

	Weight Loss, how to lose weight and keep it off.
		Our weight is determined by the amount of energy that we take in as food, and the amount of energy we expend in the activities of our day.
		If you’re slowly gaining weight over time, it is likely that your caloric intake is greater than the number of calories you burn through your daily activities.
		Our weight also plays a role in determining how many calories we burn at rest — more calories are required to maintain your body in its present state, the greater your body weight.

	Weight gain - unintentional
		Unintentional weight gain is an increase in body weight that occurs when caloric intake exceeds body requirements, causing increased fat storage.
		Aging, which is generally accompanied by a slower metabolism, can cause weight gain unless accompanied by a reduction in food intake or adequate exercise.
		Weight gain can be a significant symptom of several endocrine diseases such as Cushing's syndrome or hypothyroidism.
