Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

On Earth (if the gravity = ten)
If something weighs 605kg what would its mass be...
Or is it that mass and weight are the same in this instance and the 605kg has been labelled wrong, as i thought weight was measured in newtons.
soooo confused :?

Kg is a unit of mass, not weight. Weight should be measured in newtongs. Weight and Mass are often confused and it is customary not to make distinction of them in ordinary life (on the Earth surface)
