Re: revision of Newton's Second Law

Things are just about crazy enough that I can
introduce you to a new form of Newton's Second Law. I did
not make this up--I found it in a book.

F = m (a/g)

Now F is in pounds and m is in pounds. Doesn't that really
clarify things!

Yup, that sets a new record for craziness.
That's particularly exciting when g=0 as in a spaceship.

In a spaceship g=9.8 ... g is the value on earth no matter where you
are. It is 'a' that = 0 in the spaceship yielding weight = 0
