Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Isn't the difference that mass is fixed but weight depends on gravity?
The weight is the force experienced due to gravity, so the answer may be forcemeter.... if, indeed, there is such a thing as a forcemeter.
In the real world I'm sure Jack would use a scale, since he's not likely to be going anywhere where gravity is different.
Strictly speaking weight is a Force so you could measure it with a forcemeter. Having said that you would normally get it by using scales and multiplying the mass you read in kg by 9.81 m/s2.
If you want to get pedantic about it though, what you read as mass on a set of scales calibrated in kg is would only be correct at sea level on earth (or somewhere else where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s2). Given the principles that most scales work on they actually measure weight not mass even if the units on them are kg. If you had something that showed as 6kg on a set of scales on earth then they would incorrectly show as 1kg on the moon even though the object has a mass of 6kg. They should really show weight in Newtons.
What are those things in the bathroom for measuring your weight called again? Oh yes Bathroom Force-meters.

No. Mass x Acceleration.
Weight is a force!
It is a crappy question. It is hard to gauge what scientific level this is aimed at. If it is for an 8 year old then scale would be correct enough in my opinion. A "weighing scale" should really be called a "balance."
I don't see what a question has to gain by being a smartarse.
