how pounds can be converted to kg

937 views

Like the title. How are we able to convert pounds, which are a unit of force, to kg which is a unit of mass, using a simple scale factor. How are electronic scales able to give us a unit of mass when they measure by using the force enacted on the scale by gravity because all they are doing is using a conversion factor between pounds and kg that shouldn’t exist

There are two types of pound. Pound (force) and pound (mass). So just have to use the appropriate one.
