To lift the 100-pound square weight, a force equal to or greater than 100 pounds must be exerted on the rope. This force needs to overcome the weight of the object and any friction or resistance present in the system.
If the weight is 300 pounds, you will need to apply a force of at least 300 pounds to lift it against the force of gravity. This force is known as the weight of the object.
6 pounds weighs 6 pounds. Weight is a measure of force acting on an object due to gravity, so in this case, a mass of 6 pounds exerts a force of 6 pounds.
No. The amount an object weighs is simply called its "weight".
In water, a 100 pound person can effectively weigh around 10 pounds due to the buoyant force supporting their weight. The buoyant force counteracts gravity to reduce the apparent weight of the person.
It is roughly the same as the weight of a gallon of water, because the bouyancy force is equal to the weight of water displaced (the weight of the air being negligible). A UK gallon of water weighs almost exactly 10 pounds, while a US gallon weighs about 8.35 pounds.
If the weight is 300 pounds, you will need to apply a force of at least 300 pounds to lift it against the force of gravity. This force is known as the weight of the object.
The weight is a force and should be called 'poundsforce'. To get mass, in pounds, divide by 32.2
On earth, a kilogram of mass weighs around 2.2 pounds. Mass does not change unlike weight, which is reliant on the force of gravity.
6 pounds weighs 6 pounds. Weight is a measure of force acting on an object due to gravity, so in this case, a mass of 6 pounds exerts a force of 6 pounds.
The weight of a person is dependent on the gravitational pull of the celestial body they are on. Therefore, if a person weighs 65 pounds on earth, their weight would be different on another planet with a different gravitational force.
Recently contacted my local marine, I was told it weighs 375 pounds.
No. The amount an object weighs is simply called its "weight".
Hyenas have the most powerful bite force of all mammals of the animal kingdom. I believe they have a bite force of at least 2000 lbs per square inch, but it could be more.
A mass of 35 pounds is equivalent to 15.9 kilograms. What it weighs will be measured in Newtons, not kilograms, and will depend on the force of gravity (if any).
That all depends on where you've taken the poor thing. On Earth, one poundmass weighs one poundforce, so [s]he weighs 29 pounds here. The weight of that same mass is different in other places.
In water, a 100 pound person can effectively weigh around 10 pounds due to the buoyant force supporting their weight. The buoyant force counteracts gravity to reduce the apparent weight of the person.
You have to overcome the force of gravity. So, if you're in the space shuttle which weighs 240,000 pounds at liftoff, you have to have enough force to overcome that weight.
