Question

What is the weight of a 500 g package of spaghetti noodles ? (A) in N (B) in oz

Answer 1

Given:

Weight of the spaghetti noddles = 500 grams

Let's find the weight of the noodles in Newtons(N) and Ounce(oz).

First convert 500g to kg:

`500g=(500)/(1000)=(1)/(2)kg`

(A) in N

Where 1 kg = 9.8 N

Thus, we have:

`(1)/(2)kg=(1)/(2)\ast9.8=4.9N`

The weight of a 500 g package of spaghetti noodles in Newton is 4.9 N

(B) in oz

Where:

1 gram = 0.035274 ounce

Thus, we have:

`500g=500\ast0.035274=17.637\text{ oz}`

The weight of a 500g package of spaghetti noodles in Ounce is 17.637 oz

ANSWER:

(A) 4.9 N

(B) 17.637 oz
