What is Jupiter's mass in pounds?

Question

I need to know what jupiter's mass is because I'm doing a planet project and I gotta know

Answer 1

I could find the mass in kilo and that is 1.8986×1027 kg now all you have to do is multiply that by 2,205 and then you have the result in pounds and that will give the result 4,186413×1027 lbs



Relative to the planets Earth gravitational pull....

Answer 2

You might be interested in a little known fact. Pounds is not a unit a mass. Its a unit of force. In the English system, the unit of mass is the 'slug'. Really!



It is a unit of mass, equivalent to approximately 32.2 lb. (15 kg) and having the property that a force of one pound acting upon a mass of this unit produces an acceleration of one foot per second per second.



So when you get the answer from other people on Answers, convert your answer to either Kg (the preferred metric unit), or Slugs, but dont give the answer in Pounds, which, strictly speaking, is the wrong unit of measure.



32.5 lbs of mass weighs 32.5 pounds at sea level, less on mount everest, and still less on Mars, or the moon. But 1 slug is 1 slug everywhere. Weight is used to measure mass, but it isnt mass, its force. The force exerted on the mass by the planetary body varies everywhere.



So when you're talking about Jupiter, you should avoid units of weight, like pounds, and use either Kg or Slugs. Kg preferably.



Of course, everybody makes that mistake. But why should you.

Answer 3

4.19 x 10^27 lb



right, so now I'm going to rant a bit.



Pounds is a measure of weight, which means, how hard gravity is pulling on something. This unit is always used based on Earth's gravity. Measuring Jupiter does not make sense in this unit, because Jupiter is not on Earth, if it WAS close to earth, it would certainly be the dominant gravity anyway.



kilograms IS a mass measure (meaning a measure of how much matter, or just stuff, there is) the conversion of kg to lb only works on the surface of the Earth, once you leave Earth, the conversion becomes meaningless.

Answer 4

Jupiter mass is the unit of mass equal to one Jupiter (1.8986 × 1027 kg, 317.83 Earth mass; 1 Earth mass equals 0.00315 Jupiter masses).

Answer 5

195 Kg To Lbs

Answer 6

pounds is a measurement of weight not mass. Weight is simply the gravitational force one object exerts on another. Therefore weight would be different depending on where you weighed it.

Answer 7

Undefined. Mass is measured in slugs in those silly old U.S. units.
