Question

can somebody please explain this unit:

Kg.sec^-1

Answer 1

Kilogram per second

Answer 2

ok, why is the second to the ^-1? also if I was to convert this to N per second what would i do?

Answer 3

multiply by some N/kilogram

Answer 4

so multiply by 9.81/1000

Answer 5

do u mean N to be Newton

Answer 6

yes Newtons per second

Answer 7

then just multiply by 9.81 (the value of acceleration due to gravity take care of its unit )

Answer 8

Oh!, no M...

Answer 9

Flow rate

Answer 10

so i would have to:

say i had 1000 kg.sec^-1

then i would:

1000*9.81/1000 = 9.81 N/s

is that right?

Answer 11

first check is it kg-wt mentioned..
if then no need to divide by 1000

Answer 12

see 1kgwt =1*9.81 N = 9.81N

Answer 13

what i have is:

J = 1000 Kg.sec^-1

need to present it in Newtons per sec to match the rest of my question, the rest is either in newtons or needs to be converted to newtons.

Answer 14

ok
but unless mentioned kg-wt u cannot mulltiply with g

Answer 15

is it related to work-energy problem

Answer 16

mechanical its for dampners

Answer 17

damping coefficient

Answer 18

then u need to check the co-efficient an further if u have any quantity whose unit is Newton /kg u may multiply with that...

Answer 19

ok thanks you have helped greatly, very much apprciated.

Answer 20

welcome
but i am not sure how far it helped u

Answer 21

also it says,

J can equal:

1000 N.sec.m^1

what is that?
