Answer:

It would be 637.43 Newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

Because

1 Kilogram:

The kilogram is defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), which is almost exactly equal to the mass of one liter of water.

1 Newton:

1 Newton in Earth gravity is the equivalent weight of 1/9.80665 kg on Earth. This is derived using Newton's second law f=ma and assuming Earth gravity of 9.80665 m/s2. 1 N (Earth) = 0.101971621297793 kg.
