1. a student was taking a rock-climbing class that used an indoor climbing wall. Before he started, the instructor asked for his weight. If the student has a mass of 185 kg, what was his weight?
i meant 195

Since the formal definition of weight is mass multiplied by the gravitational constant g, and also keeping in mind that it is a force, so it is a vector, then:

W = m*g
W = (185)*(9.81)
W = 1814.85 N, towards earth

Keeping the correct number of significant figures, we have:

W = 1810 N, towards earth {ANSWER}

EDIT: SOLUTION #2
Using the same exact concept for 195 kg:

W = m*g
W = (195)*(9.81)
W = 1912.95 N, towards earth

Keeping the correct number of significant figures, we have:

W = 1910 N, towards earth {ANSWER}

Gym climbing has evolved into a sport in its own right and Matt Burbach has been there to spur it on. He established, developed, and directed the Indoor Climbing School of Earth Treks Climbing Center in Maryland, the largest climbing gym on the east coast. Now he presents the same techniques and training exercises honed by coaching hundreds of climbers.Burbach covers all aspects of indoor rock climbing in detail, including what to look for in a gym, analysis of equipment and how it works, proper top-rope systems management, and movement technique. More advanced indoor climbers will appreciate chapters on topics such as indoor leading, performance, competition climbing, and bouldering. For outdoor rock climbers now training in gyms, this guide aids the "reverse" transition from climbing on real rock to pulling on plastic. Throughout, Burbach not only demonstrates the proper techniques and skills, but goes one step further to explain why those practices are better.Matt Burbach is the editor of Urban Climber magazine, which is devoted to the information, community, and entertainment needs of climbers who climb where they live, the city. He has worked in the climbing industry as an instructor, competitor, tech rep, and lead organizer of the largest indoor climbing competition in the U.S. Features:Written by Matt Burbach Published on 1/24/2005 Indoor climbing is growing rapidly-significantly faster over the past five years than surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and mountain climbing according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers AssociationAuthor is a pioneering instructor and gym climbing course developer Key exercises reinforce fundamental skills, illustrated in sequential photos Paperback224 Pages
