- Write and take a picture of your answer with complete solution on a piece of paper and attach the picture. What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of (a) 8 kg, (b) 0.04 kg, and (c) 760 Mg? Represent each of the following combinations of units in the correct SI form: (a) kN/μs, (b) Mg/mN, and (c) MN/(kg · ms). Represent each of the following combinations of units in the correct SI form: (a) Mg/ms, (b) N/mm, (c) mN/(kg · μs). Convert: (a) 200 lb · ft to N · m, (b) 350 lb/ft3 to kN/m3, (c) 8 ft/h to mm>s. Express the result to three significant figures. Use an appropriate prefix.

For example, if the matrix number is CD180264 then the L3D value is 264 (since the last three digits is 264). Some data require multiplication of the L3D value, for example, 10(L3D) means 10 x L3D subject name is INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERINGarrow_forward
