We are asked to find the student's weight in (a) Newtons (N)(a) \mathrm{~Newtons ~(N)}, and in (b) pound (lb)(b) \mathrm{~pound ~(lb)}. We have given:

m=54 kgg=9.81 ms21 N=1 kgms21 lb=4.48222 N\begin{aligned} m&=54\mathrm{~kg}\\ g&=9.81\mathrm{~\dfrac{m}{s^{2}}}\\ 1\mathrm{~N}&=1 \mathrm{~\dfrac{kg\cdot m}{s^{2}}}\\ 1 \mathrm{~lb}&= 4.48222\mathrm{~N}\\ \end{aligned}
