Question

A box of books weighs 4.10 kg for every meter of it's height. Convert this ratio into pounds per foot.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio is   k  =   2.76 pounds /  foot

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   For  1 m  height  =>  4.10 kg mass

generally  1 meter = 3.28084 feet  

Also

  1 kg  = 2.20462 pound

  4.10 kg  =  x pounds

So

      $x = \frac{4.10 * 2.20462}{1 }$

=>    $x = 9.04 \ pounds$

So

        9.04 pounds  = 3.28084  feet  

         z pounds  =  1 foot

So  

       $z = \frac{ 9.04 * 1 }{ 3.28084}$

=>   z = 2.76 pounds

So the ratio is in pounds per foot is

      k  =   2.76 pounds /  foot
