W = mg
to get accuracy, you need your location's elevation above sea level, which changes g
W = 50 x g; use 9.80 if you don't need that much accuracy for g.

I'm confused as to what you want. There is nothing wrong with a 50 kg mass.

w = mg -- weight =mass x gravity. In metrics g=9.8 m/sec. The answer is in Newtons (N). 1 N =1 kg.m/sec
