Question

What is the weight in pounds of a 7.0 kilogram bowling ball on earth's surface

Answer 1

Gravitational field strength (GFS) on earth =10 N/kg

Weight = GFS x mass
W = 10 x 7
W = 70N
70N = 15.74 pounds

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 7 kg

We need to find the weight in pounds of 7 kg bowling ball in pounds. Firstly, we need to find the relationship between kilogram and pound. It is as follows :

1 kilograms = 2.204 pounds

The given mass of 7 kilograms can be converted to pounds by using the unitary method as :

$7\ kilograms=(7\times 2.204)\ pounds$

7 kg = 15.428 pounds

Hence, the weight of bowling ball is 15.428 pounds. Hence, this is the required solution.
