How many Newtons of force are neede to lift 20 50lb bags of sand??
What is 20*50lb?
oops, you want Newtons. convert lbs to kg
force=20*50*1kg/2.2lbs * 9.8 N
To calculate the Newtons of force required to lift the bags of sand, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the weight of the bags from pounds (lb) to kilograms (kg).
- Since 1 lb is approximately equal to 0.4536 kg, we can convert the weight of each bag as follows:
- 50 lb * 0.4536 kg/lb = 22.68 kg
Step 2: Calculate the total weight of the bags.
- Multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags:
- 22.68 kg/bag * 20 bags = 453.6 kg
Step 3: Convert the weight from kg to Newtons (N).
- The conversion factor from kg to N is 9.8 N/kg.
- Multiply the weight in kg by the conversion factor:
- 453.6 kg * 9.8 N/kg = 4,448.88 N
Therefore, approximately 4,448.88 Newtons of force are needed to lift 20 bags of sand, each weighing 50 lbs.
