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?
Solution
(a) W = 9.81(8) = 78.5 N Ans.
(b) W = 9.81(0.04) ( 10 - 3 ) = 3.92 ( 10 - 4 ) N = 0.392 mN Ans.
(c) W = 9.81(760) ( 10 3
) = 7.46 ( 10 ) N = 7.46 MN
6
Ans.
Ans:
W = 78.5 N
W = 0.392 mN
W = 7.46 MN

Represent each of the following combinations of units in
the correct SI form: (a) >KN>ms, (b) Mg>mN, and
(c) MN>(kg # ms).
Solution
(a) kN>ms = 103N> ( 10 - 6 ) s = GN>s Ans.
(b) Mg>mN = 106g>10 - 3 N = Gg>N Ans.
(c) MN>(kg # ms) = 10 N>kg(106 -3
s) = GN>(kg # s) Ans.
Ans:
GN>s
Gg>N
GN>(kg # s)
