A long ton is defined as exactly 2240 lb. What is this mass in kilograms?

Long ton -

A long ton is the unit of mass in theBritish imperial system. One long ton equals2240 poundsor1016 kgor1.016 metric tons. A long ton is 20 quintal.

\(1\,\,{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}\,\, = \,\,1016\,\,{\rm{kilograms}}\,\, = \,\,2240\,\,{\rm{lb}}\)

Kilograms -

It is also a unit of mass in the SI unit system. It is thousand times of gram. It is also said as a kilo.

\(1\,\,\,{\rm{kilograms}}\,\, = \,\,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.000984207}}\,\,{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}\)

The given mass is 2240 lb.

We have

\(1\,\,{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}\,\, = \,\,1016\,\,{\rm{kilograms}}\,\, = \,\,2240\,\,{\rm{lb}}\)

Using the conversion factor, we get

\(1\,\,{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}\,\, = \,\,\,\,\,\left( {1\,\,{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}\, \times \,\frac{{1016\,\,{\rm{kilograms}}}}{{{\rm{Long}}\,{\rm{ton}}}}} \right)\,\, = \,\,1016\,\,{\rm{kilograms}}\)

The mass in kilograms is1016.0 kg.
