In this tutorial you will learn how to convert between pounds and kilograms.

Summary

  1. lbs- pounds
  2. kg- kilogram
  3. On earth there are 2.2 pounds in every 1 kilogram

Notes

    1. lbs- pounds
    2. pounds is a measure of weight, and weight is just force
    3. mass and weight mean different things
    1. Newtons are the units of force
    1. lb- pounds
    2. N- Newtons, the units of force
    1. N- Newtons, the units of force
    1. m- mass
    2. N- Newtons, the units of force
    3. Fg- the force of gravity
    4. g- the acceleration due to gravity
    1. g- acceleration due to gravity
    2. m- mass
    1. N- Newtons, the units of force
    2. m- mass, kg- kilograms
    3. g- acceleration due to gravity
    4. m/s2- meters per second squared
    1. m- mass
    2. kg- kilograms
    1. kg- kilogram
    2. lbs- pounds
    3. On earth we multiply mass by the acceleration due to gravity to get the weight
    1. lbs- pounds
    1. kg- kilogram
