WE ARE SCIENTISTS

Today in science class, I was sitting, arms folded, listening to Mr Foong conduct his lecture. Then, he suddenly pointed to me.

"You there young man, stand up. What's your weight?"

"I think, like, 36 kg?"

Phew. I thought I was in trouble or something. I thought I was dead. Then he asked the another boy the same question.

"You?"

"45 kg."

"Both of you are wrong."


He explained why. He said mass is different from weight.

Weight is the effect of gravity on mass. It changes from location to location.

He said that when asked what your weight is, you should answer (your weight) n ( n for newtons)

Then if asked your mass, you should answer (your mass) kg
