ah.... too complicated for us with more than one brain... actually, the problem is simple enough that anyone with a basic understanding of how to manipulate math and dimensional analysis should be able to do it. those unfamiliar with the formula might not know where to start. those asking about the formula or a problem needing said formula
USUALLY are in a
class... hence my terribly mistaken assumption that you might need this for a class.
we have a history here of helping people who post questions and are legitimately trying the problems... as in posting their answers or explaining where they are failing to understand. you know... they are trying to understand. that little thing called learning. i suppose im wasting my breath here.
if you spent ANY time here you would have seen that every day there are requests, just like yours, for questions that people
dont just ask out of the blue most days. most of the time, they are clearly homework... your post is
one of those questions. dont know about you, but most people do not own a scale that reads in newtons. maybe you are just that special. oh...wait...i am wrong... there was that one person who came in off the street who wanted to know about the different spacial structural conformations of meth, so that she could argue to get her son less jail time... but i doubt that turtles have anything to do with meth so maybe im just wrong, judgemental and jaded.
heres a huge hint... ready???
if F=MA then you can rearrange to get M=F/A. plug in the numbers and *poof* you have the magic weight of your beloved turtle. SECOND big hint of the day... A = the acceleration due to gravity... a constant that can be looked up. but that might require you to do some work.
good luck and best wishes to your turtle.
