    Agree. The error is in the imperial system, there isn’t a difference between weight and mass. The Weight depends on the gravity but the mass not. 240 Pounds Weight on Earth are on the Moon 40 Pounds Weight, but the Mass is still 240 Pound. Because of this in the SI system for the Mass is used kilogramm and for the Weight Newton (old kilopond)
