Question

What is your height in centimeters? What is your weight in Newton?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Height in centimeters =  $175.26 \mathrm{cm}$

Weight in Newton =  942.97 N

Step 1: Height and Weight measurement

Height is measured in feet (ft),inches, and centimeters. And weightis measured in pounds (lbs) and Newton.

Step 2: Calculation of height in centimeters

We can take an example,

If the height of a person =  $5 \mathrm{ft} 9 \mathrm{inch}$

So, $5 \mathrm{ft} 9 \mathrm{inch}=69 \mathrm{inch}$

$1 \mathrm{inch} =2.540 \mathrm{cm}$Then, $69 \mathrm{inch}= 175.26 \mathrm{cm}$

Step3: Calculation of weight in Newton

If the weight of the person = $212\mathrm{lbs}$

And we know that 1lbs =  $4.448\mathrm{N}$

So,  $212\mathrm{lbs}=972.97\mathrm{N}$

Thus, the weight of the person is  $972.97\mathrm{N}$.
