Talk:Newton (unit)

"As references, a body of one kilogram weighs approximately 0.1019 N on earth, and 1.1019 kilograms weight approximately 1 N" that don't quite add up, do it? shouldn't 1 of 'em be 0.9 ish? 193.113.235.173 06:21, 30 December 2007 (EST)

Parody? A body of one kilogram 'weighs' about 9.81 N on earth. A body of about 102 g is pulled with a gravitational force of 1 N. Ed @CP and RW 06:36, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * My memory served me false Ed@ you're right of course (comes of leaving school in the 60s) - btw - these nightflare edits seem a bit off mission to me. 193.113.235.173 06:41, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * True, I was initially going for the 1 N = x mass thing only, but then decided to do both and apparently didn't change everything properly, sorry about that.


 * P.S. I only did this because it was on the wanted list, which I just realized was linked by me only, delete then? NightFlare 07:04, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * No offence intended NF, keep up the good work & Godspeed. (I'm in an Aschfly mood) 193.113.235.173 07:13, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * Sorry for calling you a parodist. This is a possibly useful article, no need to delete. Ed @CP and RW 07:20, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * No need for apologies. NightFlare 07:37, 30 December 2007 (EST)


 * Perhaps we should make an article about measurements and scientific units? Calories come up in Food woo. I must confess I'm being a bit selfish. I don't have many science courses under my belt, so a glossary of terms would be incredibly useful. If there's some sort of snark quota, I guess we can make fun of the US for still using Imperial units, or something. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 15:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
