The weight of the woman in Newton is [tex]\boxed{532.73{\text{ N}}}.[/tex]
Further Explanation:
The formula for the force can be expressed as follows,
[tex]\boxed{F = m \times a}[/tex]
Here, F represents the force, m represents the mass and a represents the acceleration.
The formula for the weight can be expressed as follows,
[tex]\boxed{W = m \times g}[/tex]
Here, W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Given:
The weight of the woman is [tex]120{\text{lb}}.[/tex]
Explanation:
First convert the unit of mass in kilogram.
[tex]1{\text{lb}} = 0.453{\text{ kg}}[/tex]
Multiply 120 by 0.453 to obtain the mass in kilogram.
[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{weight}}&= 120\times 0.453\\&= 54.36{\text{ kg}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The weight of the woman in newton can be obtained as follows,
[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{W}} &= 54.36 \times 9.8\\&= 532.73{\text{ N}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The weight of the woman in Newton is [tex]\boxed{532.73{\text{ N}}}.[/tex]
