15 points! bonus! how do you work out your mass? trying to revise and cant find it in book :(



Answer :

Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters then divide the answer by your height again to get your Body mass :)

This answer is not really going to describe how to measure your mass. 
That would be a difficult thing to do, and you really don't have the equipment
to do it with.

But this will tell you how to find out what your mass is:

-- Weigh yourself.  A bathroom scale is the most convenient way to do it.

-- Assuming that ...
         >  you're weighing yourself on the Earth's surface or near it;
         >  the scale tells you your weight in pounds;

             Take your weight in pounds.
             Divide it by  2.205
       OR
             Multiply it by  0.4536 .

-- The answer is your mass, in kilograms.

===========================================

If you're using a Metric scale, then the dial will say "kilograms" on it,
and it'll say that the number on the dial is your "weight" in kilograms.
This is unfortunate, misleading, and a totally wrong way to look at it.
But if you're using the scale on Earth, then the number on the dial is
your mass, in kilograms.
