lol\n\nthere both the same.. a POUND of bricks is equal to a POUND of sugar.lol

Well, first of all, this isn't geometry.\n\nThe first brick has a volume of 0.2m * 0.1m * 0.05m = 0.001 cubic metres.  Its density is mass divided by volume, so 1.2kg/0.001 = 1200 kg/cubic metre.\n\nThe second brick's volume is 0.25m * 0.15m * 0.04m = 0.0015 cubic metres.  \n\n1200kg/cubic metre * 0.0015 cubic metres = 1.8kg.

stone (st) \na traditional British unit of weight, rarely used in the U.S. Originally the stone varied in size, both from place to place and according to the nature of the item being weighed. A stone of sugar was traditionally 8 pounds, while a stone of wool could be as much as 24 pounds. Eventually the stone was standardized at 14 pounds avoirdupois or approximately 6.350 29 kilograms -- a convenient size because it makes the stone equal to exactly 1/2 quarter or 1/8 hundredweight. Today the stone is used mostly for stating the weight of persons or animals. No -s is added for the plural.\n\nfortnight \na traditional English unit of time equal to 2 weeks or 14 days. The word, a contraction of "fourteen nights," has been used since at least the 1100s.

The net force is zero.  Remember the equation F=MA:  force equals mass times acceleration.  If something is at rest, A is zero, so F must be zero.\n\nThe gravitational force on the brick is exactly balanced by the force of the table holding the brick up.  Net force is zero.

Definitely half a pound because the whiskey would cost 9.5 pounds and the bottle 0.5 pound, making the whiskey cost 9 pounds more than the bottle. Which would mean that together they cost 10 pounds.

Mass. I think.Depending on how strong the gravity is your mass changes.

Go to a McDonald's restaurant and ask them for a "Newtoner", that is a "Quarter Pounder" hamburger in metric. A "newton" (from Newton's Law) is a unit of force or weight and is about equal to one quarter of a pound - not often used. It is not the unit of mass, which is the "kilogram" in metric, and is what is normally used. It is the opposite in the British system (used here in the U.S. but no longer used in Britain) where the official unit of mass is the "slug" (hardly ever used) and the unit of force or weight is the "pound". They say the density of air, for example, at standard conditions is 1.2 kilograms per cubic meter - which is correct terminology - but then say it is also equal to 2 pounds per cubic yard - which is incorrect terminology but nice and accurate and easy to remember. One million tons of air, really 62,161,994 "slugs" in correct terminology, occupies about one fifth of a cubic mile in volume over, say, a farm field but is much easier to think about even so and compare to the weights of large ships, etc.

Let the weight of the brick be x.\n\nx = 3/4 + (3/4)x\nx - (3/4)x = 3/4\n(1/4)x = 3/4\nx = (3/4)/(1/4)\nx = (3/4)*4\nx = 3 pounds

1 pound = 0.454 Kg.\nDensity of lead = 11350 Kg/metre cube.\nWe Know, Volume= Mass/Density.\nHere, Volume=0.454/11350=0.00004 m.Cube.\nalso , volume of sphere = (4*pai*radius cube)/3\nso, radius cube= (0.00004*3)/(4*3.14)\n               = 0.0000096\n    Radius     =0.0213 metre\n Diametre      =0.0213*2= 0.0426 metre.\n\nI think , formulae used are correct but some doubts with the calculation, as i didn't have a scientific calculateor with me , at the time of answering.

A stone is a unit of mass within the Imperial units system used in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and formerly in a number of Commonwealth countries. It is equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, i.e. 6.35029318 kilograms.\n\nA unit of weight in Great Britain; equal to 14 pounds.

I think sugar is 16 calories per gram and salt 0 calories.  However, if salt is absorbed by the body, it attaches to water molecules and increases a person's weight.  Answer for sugar is on the package of the 5 or 10 pound sack you purchased at the store.

Weight is the amount of force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in that object

They are the same. A slug is a unit of mass.  It is defined as the mass which a pound of force would accelerate 1 ft per second^2.  In other words, it is equal to 1 lb/(ft/s^2)The reason it's sometimes called a g-pound is this.  The weight of an object, using Newton's second law, is Weight= mass x g, where g is the acceleration caused by gravity.  Thus, if you take the mass in slugs, and multiply it by g, which is about 32 ft/s^2, you get the weight, in pounds.  Hence the name g-pounds, or geepounds.\n\nThe metric system, either meter-kilogram-second or centimeter-gram-second, is so superior to this it's laughable.  Of course even the definition of pound and feet, which underlie the definitions of geepounds, are officially based on metric units.

yes it is a british weight measurement equivalent to 14 lbs. i still use it i would allways say my weight in stones opposed to lbs.
