Answer :
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the object = [tex]40[/tex] pound
We have to calculate force (N).
Newton = [kg.ms^-2]=[MLT^-2]
So we have to convert the units.
[tex]1[/tex] pound = [tex]0.45[/tex] kg
[tex]40[/tex] pound = [tex]0.45\times 40 = 18.14[/tex] kg
Here Force and Weight are equivalent as the object is in stationary state.
Weight= product of mass and gravity.
Value of g = 9.8 ms^-2
Force = [tex]m\times g[/tex]
So the force of the object in (N) = [tex]18.4\times 9.8[/tex]
= [tex]177.77\ N[/tex]
The force in units of Newtons = 177.77
