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.
