How many newtons in a lamp?

Answer 1

Only 1 but when he comes out he can only grant you 3.14 wishes. :)

A newton is a unit of force. It's equal to 1 kg being accelerated at 1 m/s^2

Therefore the amount of "weight" an object has equal to its mass (in kg) multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2)

So a 1 kg mass, has a weight of 9.8 Newtons (N)

So if you're calculating the amount of Newtons in a lamp, it would depend on the mass of the lamp.

If this is an electricity question ... you need units other than Newtons, as well as other information.

Remember, in the metric system: mass is measured in kg, weight is measured in N. The confusing part is when using the US system in measurement where we unfortunately use pounds for both properties.

Answer 2

A lamp does not have a weight or mass that can be measured in newtons. Newtons are a unit of force, not used to measure objects that do not exert force themselves.
