Pronounce vs. Weight — What's the Difference?

To use the organs of speech to make heard (a word or speech sound); utter.

In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.Some standard textbooks define weight as a vector quantity, the gravitational force acting on the object. Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the magnitude of the gravitational force.
