Convert 1.6 tons (assumed in the USA to be 2000 lb force each) to Newtons. The squid's length does not matter.
In some countries, a "ton" or "tonne" of mass is 1000 kg.
Weight = 3200 lbf
1 Newton = 0.2245 lbf
Weight = 3200 lbf*(1 N/0.2245 lbf)
= 14,250 N
The heaviest invertebrate is the giant squid which can have a weight of 1.6 tons spread out over its lenght of 60 feet. What is its weight in newtons?
