Default Proposed SZD-55 EASA AD now out for comment - "Flight Controls – Elevator Control System / Vertical Tail – Inspection"


People point weight, isn't it wonderful that a kilogram is a liter of water. But of course it isn't. A liter of water weighs 9.8 Newtons.


Your litre of water has a mass of 1 Kg.

It weighs 9.8 newtons on Earth, something different on Mars, but still has a mass of 1 kg.
