Question

Determine the weight in newtons of a woman whose weight in pounds is 157. Also, find her mass in slugs and in kilograms. Determine your own weight in newtons.

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of the woman in Newton

   $x = 698.6 \ N$

 Mass of the woman in slug

  $Mass = 4.86 \ slug$

 Mass of the woman in kg

   $Mass = 16 \ kg$

  My weight in Newton

  $W = 784 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The weight of the woman in pounds is  $W = 157 \ lb$

Converting to Newton

    1 N  =  0.22472 lb

    x N  =  157

=>   $x = \frac{157 * 1}{0.22472}$

=>   $x = 698.6 \ N$

Obtaining the mass in slug

   $Mass = \frac{W}{g}$

Here  $g = 32.2 ft/s^2$

So

     $Mass = \frac{157 }{32.2}$

       $Mass = 4.86 \ slug$

Obtaining the mass in kilogram

     $Mass = \frac{W}{g}$

Here  $g = 9.8 \ m/s$

So

   $Mass = \frac{157 }{9.8}$

   $Mass = 16 \ kg$

Generally weight is mathematically represented as

     $W = m * g$

Given that my mass is   80 kg   then my weight is  

     $W = 80 *9.8$

      $W = 784 \ N$
