Question

If you push hard enough to make a scale read 9 pounds, that is about 40 Newtons. So Newtons are a smaller unit... True or False

PLEASE HURRY

Answer 1

True.

Why?

To know if the statement is true or false, we just need to use the following convertion factor:

`1lb(force)=4.44N`

or

`1N=0.22lbf`

Now, converting from pounds to Newtons, we have:

`9lb*(4.44N)/(1lb)=39.96lb=40lb`

Hence, the statement is true.

Have a nice day!
