These figures are for cooked long-grain white rice: 158 g a cup. Medium-grain white rice cooks up heavier, 186 g a cup, and cooked long-grain brown rice is 202 g. Uncooked white rice is a different measure, 185 g a cup.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked” at 158 g (FDC ID 168878, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
