# 95# pounds is #422.58# newtons.

Explanation:

Newton is a unit of force and is #1# #kg##m/sec^2#. When weight is converted to force, we have one kilogram-force equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a #9.80665# #m/s^2# gravitational field.

Pound is a unit of weight and when measured in terms of force it is equal to the gravitational force that acts on a mass of #95# pounds. As #1# pound is equal to #0.453592# kg.

#95# pound is #95xx0.453592=43.09124# #kg.#

and #43.09124xx9.80665~=422.58# newtons.
