Question
(a) Calculate your weight in newtons. (b) What is the weight in newtons of $250 \mathrm{g}$ of cheese? (c) Name a common object whose weight is about $1 \mathrm{N}.$
Step 1
We know that 1 pound is approximately equal to 0.453592 kilograms. So, if a person weighs 200 pounds, their mass in kilograms would be $200 \times 0.453592 = 90.7185$ kilograms. Show more…
