I figured out in converting material from pound to kg for quoting purposes we must use avdp. 1 avdp pound = 2.20462 kg and this is accepted by OEMs as the conversion. I double checked that to 1 short ton = 2000 avdp pounds whereas 1 short ton = 2430.556 troy pounds.

Troy oz vs oz?

A pound (a standard pound) is equal to 6,000 grains of barley. This pound is divided into 16 parts called ounces. Troy pounds, on the other hand, are composed 5760 grains. These pounds are usually used to measure precious metals. Each troy ounce is made up of 12 ounces.


One pound of gold vs 1 pound of feathers?

While on the face of it a pound of feathers would seem to weigh the same as a pound of gold, this overlooks the fact that gold is universally weighed using a different definition of 'pound' than that used for most other materials.Precious metals such as gold are measured in troy weight. A troy pound is 12 troy ounces, and each troy ounce is 480 grains, making a total of 5760 grains to the pound of gold.Most materials use pounds and ounces from the avoirdupois system, and such a standard pound is made up of 16 ounces, where each ounce is 437.5 grains, making a total of 7000 grains to the pound of feathers.All this means that a "pound" of feathers (or bricks, or lead) is heavier than a "pound" of gold.The question is an old gag, based on the fact that gold is measured in troy ounces, but feathers (like all material other than precious metals and gemstones) are measured in avoirdupois ounces. Because troy weight has 12 ounces to a pound, but avoirdupois weight has 16 ounces to a pound, the trick answer is that a pound of feathers (at 16 ounces) is heavier than a pound of gold (at 12 ounces).Another user said:A pound of anything weighs the same as a pound of anything else.However, feathers as weighed using imperial weight, which puts 16 ounces to the pound. Gold is weighed using troy weights (for precious metals) which has 12 ounces to the pound.So a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold, since different pounds are spoken of.Another user said:A pound of feathers is heavier- because a pound is NOT always a pound. Gold, silver, platinum- and all precious metals are measured in TROY ounces and TROY pounds. A troy pound weighs less than a standard (avoirdupois) pound.


How does the position vs time graph of an object relate to its velocity vs time graph?

The position vs time graph of an object shows its location at different times, while the velocity vs time graph shows how fast the object is moving at those times. The slope of the position vs time graph represents the velocity on the velocity vs time graph.


What do the graphs of distance vs. time and distance vs. time square suggest?

The graph of distance vs. time suggests constant velocity if it is a straight line, while a curve on the graph implies changing velocity. The graph of distance vs. time squared suggests acceleration, as a linear relationship implies constant acceleration.


Is displacement the slope of the velocity vs time graph?

No, displacement is the area under the velocity vs. time graph. The slope of a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration.
