weigh = mass x acceleration
g is acceleration due to the earth which is 9.8m/s^2
W=(1.15kg)(9.8)
w = 11.172N

w = mg
weight is mass x gravity
1.14kg*9.81m/s^2 = 11.1834 N
In the physical sciences, weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object. In everyday parlance (and, for historical reasons, still in some technical terminology), "weight" is often used as a synonym for mass.

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg
w = 1.14 kg * 9.8 Newtons / kg
w = 11.2 Newtons
Note: Weight varies depending where you are. On earth 9.8 is the gravitational pull.

Weight is a form of force. Force = mass * acceleration, so to find your weight on Earth, multiply by the acceleration of Earth's gravity, which is about 9.81 m/s^2. Note that on other planets with different gravitational acceleration, your weight would be different.

There are 0.45359237 Kilograms in one Pound. You would take your weight in pounds and multiply it by that number.
To find weight, which is in Newtons, you take your mass in kilograms and multiply by 9.8.
For example: I am 180 pounds, which is near 78 kilograms. I weigh close to 800 Newtons

weight = mass * gravitational force
On Earth gravitational force = ~9.81m/s²
so weight = 1.14kg * 9.81 m/s² = 11.1834 Newtons
