a pound is a measurement of weight and is about the weight of an average childrens thesaurus.

No, a pound is a measure of mass, not of weight. A body with a mass of 1 pound will have different weights on the surface of the moon, the earth and a neutron star, for example.

What objects can you weigh using pounds?
None. Pounds are a measure of mass, weight is measured in pounds-force.
What is the measure of elctrical?
Its a force and is hence measured in Newtons

In the SI, force is measured in newtons.In the SI, force is measured in newtons.In the SI, force is measured in newtons.In the SI, force is measured in newtons.
What is measured in Newton's?
force
What are all forces measured in the metric system?
Force is measured in newtons.
What is the Science measurement for force?
Force is measured in pounds.
What objects can you weigh using pounds?
None. Pounds are a measure of mass, weight is measured in pounds-force.
How much does a Lamborghini weigh in POUNDS?
The question cannot be answered because the weight is not measured in pounds but in pounds force.
How strong is a bulldogs bite?
The average bite force of a bulldog varies from 160 and 210 lbs per square inch. Just as a matter of comparison of where a Bulldog falls in the animal kingdom, the bite force of various animals were measured for a National Geographic program. A Hyena was measured at 1000 pounds of force, a Lion's bite force measured 691, a Shark 669, and a Rottweiler 328 pounds of force. A German shepherd came in at 238, and a Pitbull's bite was measured at 235 pounds of force.
When calculating force what units do you use?
Force is measured in foot-pounds or newton-meters.AnswerIt depends on the force being measured. As mentioned above foot pounds (and inch pounds) are used to measure torque. Horsepower is a force measurement. MPH measures wind force. Then there's pounds per square foot (or square inch), etc. AnswerForce is not measured using foot-pounds or newton-meters. Both of those units are used for calculating work. Force is measured using newtons in the metric system, or Lbf in the English system. Horsepower is a power measurement, MPH is a velocity and pounds per square foot (or PSI) is a pressure or stress unit.
SI measure of force and weight?
Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.Force is measured in Newtons.

Brake fluid is measured in what units?
Brake fluid is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) where the force applied to the piston itself is measure is lbs.
What is pounds per square inch absolute?
The absolute, thermodynamic pressure, measured by the number of pounds-force exerted on an area of 1 square inch.
Can a couch be measured in pounds?
Anything can be measured in pounds, but it will be a lot.
What is the measure of the force of attraction between objects due to gravity called?
The force of gravity between two objects is measured in newtons. This is no different, technically, than what weight "should" be measured in. We use pounds and kilograms, but we should be using newtons, to be scientifically correct.
What are the forces when a spacecraft takes off?
Thrust is the force that propels a rocket or spacecraft and is measured in pounds, kilograms or Newtons.
What is the dimension of Gravitational force?
Scientists would measure it in newtons (but it could be measured in pounds). Please see the link.
