That force is what most people would call the object's "weight".

Wherever the object is, its weight is

                            (mass) x (acceleration due to local gravity) .

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is   9.8 m/s² . (rounded)

The object's weight is      (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  196 newtons .

                                                                   (about 44.1 pounds)
