weight preferred
  • keha poolt tekitatav jõud, mis on keha massi m ja selle keha raskuskiirenduse g korrutis, st et Fg = mg
  • force acting on a body, equal to the product of the mass m of that body and the local acceleration of free fall g, thus Fg = mg
raskus preferred
Usage examples
  • Raskus on jõud, mida kehale avaldab gravitatsioon.
kaal deprecated
Good to know
  • Kaal on mõõtevahend.
weight preferred
Usage examples
  • A weight is the force exerted on a body by gravity.

  • massi materiaalmõõt
  • material measure of mass, regulated in regard to its physical and metrological characteristics: shape, dimensions, material, surface quality, nominal value, density, magnetic properties and maximum permissible error
kaaluviht preferred
Usage examples
  • Kaaluviht on kasutusel kangkaaludega kaalumisel kaalude tasakaalu viimiseks või muud tüüpi kaalude kalibreerimiseks või vajaliku lisamassi andmiseks kasutatav raskus.

weight
Usage examples
  • A weight used to balance scales when weighing with lever balances, to calibrate other types of scales, or to provide the necessary additional mass.

  • keha inertsi ja gravitatsiooni iseloomustav Rahvusvahelise suuruste süsteemi ISQ põhisuurus
  • additive non-negative scalar quantity, characterizing a particle or a sample of matter in the phenomena of inertia and gravitation
  • ISQ base quantity
mass preferred
Usage examples
  • “Mass” (või “raskuse väärtus - weight value”) on eelistatult kasutatud OIML R111 või D28 mõistena “kokkuleppeline mass” või “kokkuleppeline õhus kaalumise tulemuse väärtus”, kusjuures “raskus - weight” on eelistatult kasutatud massi kehastamiseks (so materiaalne mõõt), mis on määratletud vastavalt tema füüsikalistele ja metroloogilistele karakteristikutele.
raskuse väärtus variant
kaal deprecated
Good to know
  • Kaal on rakus, st mass korrutatud raskuskiirendusega.
mass preferred
Usage examples
  • “Mass” (or “weight value”) is preferably used in the sense of “conventional mass” or “conventional value of the result of weighing in air”, according to OIML R111 or D28 whereas “weight” is preferably used for an embodiment (i.e. material measure) of mass that is regulated in regard to its physical and metrological characteristics.
