Nice easy one, 8kgs, what the heck that is in "Newtons" I cannot be bothered to find out.!

8 kgs at.25metre, how the heck do you work that to Newtons?
It isn't really applying acceleration anyway is it? Not trying to throw the blessed 4 kg weight anywhere!
(From Wiki) If 200gms is 2 Newtons, then 2kgs is 20 newtons, then 8 kilos is 80 Newtons.
So that must be the answer.
Still don't get Newtons.
And the example to get the 2 newtons was an apple sitting on the surface of the earth.
Why the flip couldn't they say KGs/metre? For torque?
Or is it?
Got too much to do today to be bothered with it.

Measure of force, as in Newton Meter for torque. 10n to a kilo (obvs).
NO!!!!
Not obvs at all!!!
Why does one kilo exerting its weight on the surface of the earth not become 1 Newton, why does it have to be multiplied by 10?
I Know it is something to do with accelerating 1 kg through imetre, but why bring acceleration into it?
Or is it because we have to think about what all this might be in outer space?
I'd only have to look at one of my torque wrenches to work out the equation but still cannot see why pound/foots is so easy to unnerstand yet Newton/metres isn't as in essence it is the SAME blasted thing!
My apologies I am not a happy bunny at the mo and therefore a bit less patient than usual.
Mass is the amount of material present in a substance. Measured in kilos. An object will have the same mass throughout the universe. Force, measured in Newtons, is the mass x acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.81 metres per second squared. ( @Hippo homework example appears to use the approximate value of 10m/s2). The force due to gravity varies throughout the universe, as you would understand the gravity on the moon is less than on earth so the force exerted by an object on the moon is less than on earth. As Sir Issac Newton said when the apple landed on his head, "OUCH"
I love the explanation and of course the conclusion, the apple hurts no matter what!!Mass is the amount of material present in a substance. Measured in kilos.

I have finished work for the year, back on the 6th January 
SLJIVOVICA?
I'll have to look it up in a dictionary and read the phonetic version of it to know.
Šljivovica (Serbian Cyrillic: шљивовица, pronounced [ˈʃʎîʋoʋit͜sa]) is the national drink of Serbia in domestic production for centuries, and the plum is the national fruit.
So yeah, more or less pronounced "slivovitz(a)" "Or more accurately "shlivovitz(a)" The final t and s sort of run into one another as if you were drunk and slurring it!
Of course i know all this, as I ain't too dense, roughly the same density as water! And I did do Physics to A level.Mass is the amount of material present in a substance. Measured in kilos.

Hence my remark about Space.
Especially when you know that their way of determining both the centimetre and the gram were so sensible and based on two other things that related so closely to the planet we live on, namely, for those not in the know, the circumference of the earth, as they could best figure it out back in the day, and water.
So it is the mass in Kg multiplied by "g". OK.
And they have the nerve to call it the "Newton" presumably in reference to the guy who worked out that gravity existed. Why didn't they call it a "Broglie" or something? After all they were quite happy to call things Amperes and Pascals.

I stand corrected I am now in the corner on the naughty seat"noun slivovitz which is what it says on the bottle,
a type of plum brandy made chiefly in the former Yugoslavia and in Romania."
Which matches your description, but not Raki nor Grappa.
noun grappa
- a brandy distilled from the fermented residue of grapes after they have been pressed in winemaking.
So not the same,
The clue is in the name, Grappa is like Grape which comes from the word for a Bunch of grapes, not grapes themselves which are usually called something like "Raisins" so in French a bunch of grapes is "une grappe de raisins"
- Incidentally the French for Grappa is "Marc", usually.
Raki is ...
"Rakı, Türk Rakısı or Turkish Raki (/rɑːˈkiː/, Turkish pronunciation: [ɾaˈkɯ] ⓘ) is an alcoholic beverage made of twice-distilled grape pomace and flavored with aniseed.[1] It is the national drink of Turkey.[1"
