Question

Determine your mass in kg noting that 1 kg is about 2.2 lbs. Then use Fg = mg to find your weight in Newtons.

Answer 1

Answer: see example due to variation of factor

Explanation: w = m x g

Weight= Mass (in kg) x Gravity (9.8m/s)

To get to kg from lbs take your weight divide by 2.2lbs well get you to kg

Example

Let's say a boy weighs 145lbs

145kg/2.2lbs=66kg

Now we use the equation

w=m x g

65kg*9.81m/s=637.65N
