@keshavsarda  please explain

anonymous · Answer

W=mg

zepp · Answer

Okay good, give that 1 newton is equal to 0.225 pounds

$\large \frac{1N}{0.225lbs}=\frac{xN}{13200}$

Solve for x :)

Your request is very broad. My best recommendation would be to watch the first few videos of this course: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/video-lectures/ Lecture 6 in particular if you want to focus on the laws of motion.
