Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) in order to convert from pounds to newtons we first must convert pounds to kilograms using the conversion factor 1 kg = 2.2 lb
2) then we can use the formula fore force F = M * G where F is force in Newtons M is Mass in kg and G is the acceleration of earths gravity (9.8m/s/s).
Ex) lets say we have 5 lb. Fore every 2.2 lb we have 1 kg so we divide
5 lb by 2.2 lbs an get that 5 lb = 2.5 kg. now we plug this into the our force equation and get F = 2.5 * 9.8
F = 24.5 Newtons
