By differentiating between mass and weight, you show that you understand
that the answer to the question depends on where you are.
-- On or near Earth, 125 kg of mass weighs about 1225.9 newtons (275.8 pounds).
-- On or near the moon, it weighs about 202.9 newtons (45.6 pounds).
-- On or near Jupiter, it weighs about 3,235.6 newtons (727.4 pounds).
-- On or near Pluto, it weighs about 72.9 newtons (16.4 pounds).

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The weight of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth. Therefore, if the mass is 125 kg, the weight would be approximately 1226.25 N (125 kg x 9.81 m/s^2).
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
To convert kg to lbs you have to multiply the weight in kg with 2.20462. This will give you the weight in pounds. Kg and pound. Kilogram is an SI unit of mass whereas Pound is an imperial unit of mass. The answer after conversion is 275.5778277321 Pounds (Approximately).
If a student had a mass of 195 kg, then his weight on earth was 1,911 newtons, or about 430 pounds.
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
A student with a mass of 90 kg on the earth (gravity =9.8m/s/s) will have a weight of 882 Newtons. Weight = Mass * Gravity
