Answer 2

so we can do it like this

\[2000(4.4482216/1)=\]

Answer 3

sorry to many zeros but the conversion factor is right

Answer 4

thks

Answer 5

Since we are only approximating anyway we can use 2.2 pounds per kilo and gravitation at 9.8 Newtons gives 890.9 Newtons (all at 1decimal place).

Answer 6

its 480 newtons

Answer 7

I would like to see your proof of that shiv

Answer 8

shiv_nandan i think that u tried to use 1 lbs is equal to 0.45359237 kg by dividing that number by 200 you would get 440.9 but i think you have to use 1kg is equal to 2.2 divide into 200 you get 90.9 and mulitply by g=9.8(earth) and if i am not mistaken you get 890.9 N
