Question

If the newton is the product of kilograms and meters/second2 what units comprise the pound?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.

Explanation:

We are given that

Force=1 N

1N=$1kg\times ms^{-2}$

We have to find the units comprise the pound.

Force=1 Pound

Mass=Slug

Acceleration=$ft/s^2$

Therefore,

1 pound=$1 slug\times fts^{-2}$

Therefore, we can write as 1 pound is equal to the product of slug and ft/square second.

Hence, pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.
