weight is mg, so if you needed mass you would divide by g (32 slugs/lb)
But here there is no asking for it.
You are asked how the pulling force varies with the persons weight (mg). Hmmm. You double weight (gil, then gil's brother), and the force is doubled.
That is the question.
force=constant*weight looks to me.
I got no response so I guess I'll try again
The force needed to overcome friction and drag a person across the floor depends on the person's weight. Manuel Dexterity can drag Gil O' Teen across the floor by pulling with a force of 51 pounds. Gil's brother, Nick who weighs twice as much can be dragged across the floor by pulling with a force of 102 pounds.
A.) How does force cary with the person's weight?
How do I come up with the equation? I don't know how to do this... it's something link
Y=kX or something of the sort...
This stupid math class expects us to use pounds for force instead of newtons
