Multiply the weight in pounds by 4.44822162.
You must break the computation into the classical equation F = ma, then perform conversion on all of the units involved in that computation.
* 1 pound-force = (1 slug)*(1 ft/s/s)
* 1 newton = (1 kg)*(1 m/s/s)
It is then a matter of solving the equations:
1 lbf = (1 slug)*(1 ft/s/s)
1 N = (1 kg)*(1 m/s/s)
Divide out the forces, moving each to the other side of the equation and leaving the other side with zero.
0 = [(1 slug)*(1 ft/s/s)] / 1 lbf
0 = [(1 kg)*(1 m/s/s)] / 1 N

Why is measurement of weight in pounds and not newtons?
They can be in either. Just like you measure distance in miles or in kilometers you can measure weight which is actually just the Force of Gravity in either pounds or Newtons. Newtons is the official SI unit of measure and pounds is the imperial old fashion way.

How do you calculate concentration factor in chemistry?
You need to know density and percent by weight. Then use the following formula: ((1000)density x % by weight) / formula mass=concentration
What is the weight of a 20-kg object in newtons?

What is the formula for converting united states weight in pounds to cubic feet?
Such a formula cannot exist. Pounds is a measure of mass (strictly speaking, not weight) while cubic feet is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to try finding a formula for converting from one to the other. To do that you would need to know the density of the substance.
Formulae for converting kg into meters?
Kilograms are a unit of weight in the Metric System. Meters are units of distance in the Metric System. There can no more be a formula for converting kilograms to meters then there could be converting pounds into yards.

120 newtons = about 26.98 pounds.
What is the equation to find Newtons?
Also if you mean Newtons in terms of weight the formula is Newtons = Mass * Gravity

30/.228 =131.6 Newtons
If someone weighed 85 pounds on Earth how much would they weigh on the moon in newtons?
To find your weight on the Moon, we have to divide 9.8 (gravity on the Earth) by 6. That answer has to be multiplied by 85 pounds. that answer is done in newtons as you are finding the weight on the moon. newtons is unit for weight.
