this problem might be extremely simple but the wording is confusing me

b]1. Homework Statement [/b]

"What dose that force correspond to in equivalent acceleration in g uints? (9.81 Nt/Kg)"

the force i had from the question be fore is 1.8uN (micro)

soooo is it asking me how many g's dose this equal?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This is unit conversion. If I said I had x eggs and that 12 eggs make a dozen, how many dozens do I have with x eggs?

x eggs * (1 dozen per 12 eggs) = x/12 dozens

Now, you have a force and you know how much force makes a g. Do the same thing.
 
alright that's what i thought, i was expecting it to be more complicated
