Hibbeler Statics 14E P1.1 — Converting mass to weight in newtons
What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of (a) 8 kg, (b) 0.04 kg, and (c) 760 Mg?
Statics of Rigid Bodies 14th Edition by RC Hibbeler, Problem 1-1
Solution:
Part A: To convert the given mass in kilogram to newton force, we simply need to multiply by the acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s2. We need to take into account that 1\:\text{kg m/s}^2\:=1\:\text{N} .
\begin {aligned} 8\:\text{kg} & =8\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2 \\ &=78.48\:\text{N} \end {aligned}
Part B: Using the same principle from Part A, we have
\begin {aligned} 0.04\:\text{kg}&=0.04\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=0.3924\:\text{N} \end {aligned}
Part C: So, we are given 760 Mg (megagram). We know that 1 Mg is equivalent to 1000 kg. Therefore, 760 Mg is equal to 760,000 kg. Therefore, we have
\begin {aligned} 760\:000\:\text{kg}&=760\:000\:\text{kg}\times 9.81\:\text{m/s}^2\\ &=7\:455\:600\:\text{N} \end{aligned}
