I've always had some trouble with these terms and using them interchangeably but I feel like I've finally made the clarification for myself. In the most rudimentary terms, it seems that the mass of something is the amount of "stuff" occupying it, whereas weight is the force of gravity on something (please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these two terms).
So here's my question, would it be appropriate to state my weight in Newtons?
For example, I weigh 140 N
