What is my mass if my weight is 60kg?

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

If someone says their "weight is 60 kg," they're actually referring to their mass, which is 60 kg. In everyday conversation, the terms are used interchangeably, though technically incorrect. Your actual weight in proper scientific units would be 588 Newtons (60 kg × 9.8 m/s²).
