Question

The heaviest invertebrate is the giant squid, which is estimated to have a weight of about 0.35 tons spread out over its length of 36 feet. What is its weight in newtons?_____ N

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the weight in Newtons of an object with a weight of 0.35 tons. To do that we will use the following conversion factor:

`1ton=9806.65N`

Now, we multiply by the conversion factor:

`0.35ton*(9806.65N)/(1ton)=3432.33N`

Therefore, the weight is 3432.33 Newtons.
