    That force is what most people would call the object's "weight".

    Wherever the object is, its weight is

    (mass) x (acceleration due to local gravity).

    On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s². (rounded)

    The object's weight is 20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 196 newtons.

    (about 44.1 pounds)
