Question

If the strength of gravity is 9 8 newtons per kilogram that means a each newton of force equals 9.8 pounds b each pound of force equals 9.8 newton c each Newton of mass weighs 9.8 kilograms?

Answer 1

each newton of force equals 9.8 pounds +++ I am afraid you have mixed both units and systems there. They have equivalents but are not equal. The Newton is a unit of Force or "weight", not Mass. The Kilogramme and the Pound are units of Mass, not Force, and by totally different systems of measurement. 1 lb = 0.454kg. It does not equal anything in newtons. 1 Newton = 0.225 pounds-force; not "9.8 pounds". OR, 1 N = 9.8kg-force, which is that due to the Earth's gravity acting on a mass of one kilogramme
