I multiplied by 2.2 to convert METERS to POUNDS and because 1 newton is equivalent to .225 POUNDS

You better quit now while you are still young, because you'll never make it as an engineer. You'll either quit then and waste your parent's college money and change your major to something like underwater basket weaving, or fail out for being stupid (like 50% of my class). :(

OKAY, iv'e determined that converting mass to wieght is impossible.

Wait...mass to weight???, you multiply the mass x gravity
you can convert them, you can't convert length/heigth/width to mass or weight.

All right! And it only took 36 hours to come to that conclusion.

(P.S.: Is it fair for everyone to bash on him for a typographical error?)
 
Umm . . far be it from me to defend anyone, but I think you've all been bashing a little too harshly on sylvester. Especially you, psych. I know picking on him for not meeting your level of "perfection" is fun (I've picked on him myself from time to time; even once at the start of this thread), but it looks like you're taking it a bit far.

Not that I can do anything about it, but it's an observation I needed to make.
 
Play nice everyone.

Though, TC may go about his buisness in any way he sees fit.
 
Thank God I never tried to convert volume or length to weight-equivalents. :D My physics teachers would've had me publically executed for trying.
 
:p
It is Archimedes in English (or American English) which is what I meant!
No need to be hostile, I apologised for the pedantic bit before!
