The answer is 79.832 kg (approx.). Kilogram is the SI unit of mass and pound is an imperial unit of mass. To convert from pound to kg, multiply the pound unit by 0.453592.


"kg" is a unit of mass, not weight.

-- An object that weighs 176 lbs on Earth has 79.83 kg of mass.

-- An object that weighs 176 pounds on the Moon has 482.94 kg of mass.

-- An object that weighs 176 pounds on Jupiter has 30.13 kg of mass.

This is why it's so important for us all to finally learn the difference between

mass and weight, now, at this point in history. Now that the 'space age' is

in full bloom, it has become more and more common to hear and read about

familiar objects located in other places, not on Earth.

As long as everything in our total experience was always taking place on Earth,

we could get away with the sloppy habit of saying that 1 kilogram of mass has

the 'weight' of one kilogram ... because until now, that weight always felt

the same.

But from now on, whenever that kilogram of mass leaves Earth and goes

to be used in some other place, we could be stuck with the inconvenient

and confusing fact that 1 kilogram might 'weigh' a lot more or a lot less than

1 kilogram.

It seems to me that it would be a lot less confusing to learn the simple difference

between mass and weight.
