Calculate the weight on Earth, in newtons and pounds, of a person whose mass is 60 kg
Thanks anon but that site does not provide any online help - not that I could see anyway - therefore it is useless to almost everybody on this forum.
Weight = mass * acceleration
so I guess,
weight = 60*9.8 = 588 Newtons
I think pounds is a measure of mass, not weight
The SI derived unit for force is the newton.
1 newton is equal to 0.224808943871 pounds.
588 Newtons = 132.187658996148 pounds
