How do I calculate mass when I have the height and weight?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate a lion's mass when height and weight are known, it's important to clarify that if weight is already provided, mass does not need to be calculated. The relationship between weight and mass is defined by the formula weight = mass × gravity. Therefore, if weight is given, mass can be derived directly by rearranging the formula. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in the question posed regarding the calculation. Understanding the distinction between mass and weight is crucial for accurate calculations.

I need to calculate a lions mass and all i know is the height and mass!

If you know mass you know mass so there is nothing to calculate.
 
Rectify your question Kureiji...If you are given with mass, then there is nothing to calculate
 
i think kureji said that the height and weight are given
so if the weight is given you can calculate mass from the formula weight=(mass)(gravity)

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
