Chapter 3, Problem 18A
What is the weight of a 1-kg brick?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The weight of 1 kg brick.
Answer to Problem 18A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Weight is the force of gravity on the object. Weight depends on object location.
The SI unit of force is Newton. 1 kilogram is equal to 9.81 newtons and in pounds it is 2.2 pounds.
Conclusion:
The weight of 1 kg brick is 9.81 newtons.

The hypotenuse,r, is 100cm (given) and a height, y, is 3.5 cm (given). How do I find the Angle θ1? And, for distance traveled, s, would all be 100cm? For my first observations I recorded four trials in seconds: 1 - 2.13s, 2 - 2.60s, 3 - 2.08s, & 4 - 1.95s. This would all go in the coloumn for time right? How do I solve for the experimental approximation of the acceleration? Help with trial 1 would be great so I can use that as a model for the other trials. Thanks!arrow_forward
