The mass of a certain elephant is 1,867 kg. (a) Find the elephant's weight in newtons. N (b) Find its weight in pounds.
Added by Josefina M.
Step 1
Given mass of the elephant = 1867 kg Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity Weight = 1867 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = 18297 N Show more…
