Answer 1

Hello Emma L

I went to google and looked up the formula.

To convert Newtons to kilograms, divide by 9.81. For instance, 20 Newtons would be equivalent to 20/9.81 or 2.04 kilograms. (This is an example) In your case it will be:

339 N

_______ =Kilograms

9.81 N

=34.56 Kilograms

Hope this helps!
