noob....Originally posted by SexyChin:kg not equal to force lar.
Force is calculated in newtons.
but newpapers put 300kgOriginally posted by SexyChin:kg not equal to force lar.
Force is calculated in newtons.
1 kg = 10N i remember....Originally posted by aloof_guy:i thought 1kg= 1N?
sorry humans student not sci lol.
kg and N are two closely-related but separate conceptOriginally posted by davidche:1 kg = 10N i remember....
freakass, your first sentence is wrong already....Originally posted by freakass:When the newspaper mentioned 300kg, it actually meant 300N tecnically...
Let's say you weigh 60kg... Actually you're wrong to say that your weight is 60kg... It is actually 60N because what you see on the weighing scale is subjected to Earth's gravity pull of 9.81 m/s^2.... However, we stick to calling it 60kg because we're all used to it... It has become a habit already... and now it has become a confusion for many people...
So remember...
F = ma (or W = mg)
where F = force in Newtons, m = mass in kg, a = acceleration
( W = weight in Newtons, m = mass in kg, g = Earth's gravitational pull = 9.81 m/s^2 )

[b]
kg and N are two closely-related but separate concept
if you want to lift up 1kg matter on the earth, you need 10N force
bring the same matter to moon, you will need 1.6N force only.

I am not wrong... seriously... please read my post properly... you need some revision for your Physics... Or you havent taken physics before? Primary school science is not enough to handle this topic...Originally posted by davidche:freakass, your first sentence is wrong already....![]()

look freakass, there is no point being arrogant and knowing so much if you are not even clear about your basic concepts....I know you are the 'few' who understands newton....*claps*Originally posted by freakass:If you realise, the media never uses the unit "Newton"... because not everyone understands the unit (davidche is one of those)... Therefore, to simplify matters, weight is always described using "kg" although technically speaking, it's so damn wrong...
Remember:
- Weight is always in "Newtons" (N)
- Mass is always in "Kilograms" (kg)
The only time you see weight being described in "kg" is in the media...
For goodness sake, are you referring to the spelling mistake? Go get a life please... No one cares about spelling mistakes in online forums... I have quite a few grammatical errors in my post too... Care to point them out to me also? Holy crap!Originally posted by davidche:look freakass, there is no point being arrogant and knowing so much if you are not even clear about your basic concepts....I know you are the 'few' who understands newton....*claps*
Again i say, your first sentence is wrong, for you ref,
''When the newspaper mentioned 300kg, it actually meant 300N tecnically... ''

Holy crap... how many times must i explain myself? Go read my posts again... someone else has also explained the same thing as me earlier on... You level of understanding is quite low i must say...Originally posted by davidche:Freak ass.
1 kg = 10N
And i wonder how your consequtive equations can work out when your first concept is wrong....![]()
Well, in case you cant find 1kg = 10N in my posts, i actually used 1kg = 9.81N.... It is more accurate....Originally posted by davidche:Freak ass.

you idiot...Originally posted by freakass:Holy crap... how many times must i explain myself? Go read my posts again... someone else has also explained the same thing as me earlier on... You level of understanding is quite low i must say...
When the newspaper mentioned 300kg, it actually meant 300N tecnically...yup...*claps*, you are the intelligent person here.
ok lets simplify things for the sake of you.Originally posted by freakass:Well, in case you cant find 1kg = 10N in my posts, i actually used 1kg = 9.81N.... It is more accurate....
Seriously, you make me wanna laugh till I die.... You said that you understand that the press uses kg instead of newtons? Well, i doubt so....Originally posted by davidche:ok lets simplify things for the sake of you.
you said in your first sentance, 100kg = 100N when in real fact 1 kg =10N
Now pls explain yourself on this point....
Originally posted by freakass:So you are saying that the press dont know basic maths and they stupidly convert 1 kg = 1 N thus 60kg=60N??
ONLY the press will measure weight in terms of kg... and when they do that, they [b]DON'T actually convert Newtons to kg (1kg = 9.81N)... they just change the units without any conversion! That is why there is this confusion... Get it?[/b]

Discussing force only you need to use Newton as the unit, but not many people know much about Newton as a unit, therefore the press goes for kg loh...

It is actually 60N because what you see on the weighing scale is subjected to Earth's gravity pull of 9.81 m/s^2.... However, we stick to calling it 60kg because we're all used to it...
