At 10:47pm the day before the assignment was due I was asked the following question.
“Is it ok if we converted pounds to newtons and feet to meters to do the calculations?”
Response
You may work internally in any units you wish, but results should always be shown in the units of the country in which you work unless told otherwise. If I were working in almost anyplace other than the US then newtons and meters would be the appropriate units. In our backward (in terms of units) country we still use feet, inches and pound-force and expect to see them in the results.
