Question

An African elephant can reach heights of 13 feet and possess a mass of as much as 6000 kg. Determine the weight of an African elephant in Newtons and in pounds. (Given: 1.00 N = .225 pounds)

Answer 1

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
= 6000 × 9.8
= 58800 N
Now,
1 N = 0.225 pounds
58800 N = 58800×0.225
= 13230 pounds.
Hope it may help you !!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

The weight of the elephant is 58.86kN.

Explanation:

Given that,

An African elephant can reach heights of 13 feet and possess a mass of as much as 6000 kg.

We are required to find the weight of the elephant.

For finding weight,height of the elephant is irrelevant.

Weight is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.Therefore,

$W=mg$

Substituting the known values in above relation we get

$W=6000 \times 9.81 = 58860N \\ = 58.86kN$

Therefore,

The weight of the elephant is 58.86kN.
