Use your weight in pounds (while standing on the surface of the Earth) to calculate your mass in the following units (1 kg weighs approx. 2.205 lb on the surface of the Earth). Show all your calculation, how you cancel the units and use the correct number of digits to get credit. Use scientific notation. Weight in pounds = 200 mass in grams = mass in kilograms = mass in teragrams = mass in picograms =
