The weight of one dozen apples is 4.3 lb. Determine the average mass of one apple in both SI and US units and the average weight of one apple in SI units. In the present case, how applicable is the "rule of thumb" that an average apple weighs 1 N? Answers: Mass of one apple = Mass of one apple = Weight of one apple = i i i kg slugs N
