Gram per watt

[lightitsmokeit420]

1g per watt is legit pretty pro to do that lol try it with cfl'sthen you will get my rep haha

the Love Ounce: thirty even. cn

thats wat the buyer wont get,lol.

 

[Opm]

Except, he asked ho much weight if he gets a gram per watt. He didn't say "How many pounds is 400g?", or something similar.

Weight implies pounds.
Metric goes by mass.

A gram of bud is the same in zero G or 1G.

Weight is a means of determining quantities of mass. If you measure it on a scale, it's a weight. Put 1g of bud on a scale in zero gravity, it will weigh 0g, I'd bet you my bottom dollar. You're thinking of liters, a liter of bud is the same in zero gravity as it is in 1G.

Opm is partially right. Pounds are a measure of force while grams measure mass. Americans use pounds for mass as well, but that is an informal convention. Using metric mass for weight is a convention that works, but it's technically not right. Similarly in orbit I'd mass 90 kilos but weigh zip. cn

Hehe, I had to giggle at the pounds = weight and metric goes by mass.

***^ or did I just stick my foot in my mouth?

**** ouch, I did.

Although most gram and kilogram measurements are not true measurements of mass but instead it's gram or kilogram-force (kgf). Most drug dealer use scales

Could you explain to me how that is possible? How do you tell something weighs 90 kilos? In space I mean?

In space he would have a mass of 90 kg, not a weight of 90kg. Like he says kg is a measure of mass - essentially the total of the # of atoms of the various elements you are comprised of. It doesn't change in space.

But generally when people refer to kg they are referring to kgf which is weight, not mass.

That's why I was careful and said that I mass 90 kilos. Scales are force-measuring devices, as Gastanker has mentioned. They're useful on Earth because the gravitational force is essentially a constant. (It would be cool to weigh something in Oslo and Mexico City: same mass but a 0.4% diff in weight...) To estimate mass in space, some other measuring device that directly quantifies inertial mass would be needed. A useful way of "weighing" spacecraft is to measure the acceleration produced by a constant force, say from a thruster of known force.

 

[kpmarine]

Ah, yeah, I see. It's both, technically. Either way though, I must now maintain that opm was talking nonsense then. By that, I mean his statement was in no way relevant to anything. For the purposes of weed, a Kg can be converted into pounds; making it weight.

Yeah, it clicked after gastanker said what he did. For some reason, my brain refused to comprehend for a second.

For purposes of weed, the convention is useful and universal. But I'd rather buy in Mexico than Oslo. cn

Buy in mexico, then sell in oslo!

Weed arbitrage. cn

In theory, the best place to buy weed would be a mountain on the equator, correct?

Trouble is, Earth's surface gravity field is lumpy.

All of this physical science talk, and you guys haven't corrected the guy who says a pound is 448 grams.


A pound is 454 grams.

Technically, the only reason we use scales to determine mass is because it is the easiest method. Counting all the atoms and multiplying them by avagadro's number is not so fun.
As for relevance, You learned something new and isn't this forum for learning?

Ft. Pounds is a measurement of force and Pounds is a measurement of weight
