How much does a Newton weigh - pounds?

Answer 1

A newton is not a measure of weight, it is a measure of force. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at the the rate of 1 meter per second each second.

(1 N = 1 kg.m/s2)

A newton of force (in the downwards direction) at Earth's surface is numerically similar (but a bit smaller) than the mass of the object times 10 since the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80665 m/s2 at that location.

In the Imperial system the equivalent unit is pound force, again this is not a weight.

1 pound-force is equivalent to 32.17 lb(mass).ft/s2.
