Question

If 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg, and Megan Progress weighs 130 lbs, what is her weight in newtons? W = N (Round your answer to nearest whole number)

Answer 1

as it is given that

2.2 lbs = 1 kg

here we know that Megan Progress weighs 130 lbs

so its mass in kg is given as

$m = 130 * \frac{1}{2.2} = 59.1 kg$

now to find the weight in Newton unit we can say

$W = mg$

$W = 59.1* 9.8$

$W = 579 N$

so 130 lbs weighs as 579 N in SI units
