my question is:
A stone of weight 32N is attached to a wire and hung from a rigid support. A string is then attached to a stone and pulled sideways with a horizontal force P until the tension in the wire is 44 N:
-what is the angle between the wire and the vertical?
-calculate the size of the force P
-repeat the calcuklation fro the case when the tension reaches 140N.
I found the answer for these question however, then i understood tht i might have to convert the weight 32N into kg before doing the question... so is my prediction right... or do i do the calculation with the 32N? if i am converting thn how do i convert 32N into Kg?
any valid answer will be welcomed. Thx in advance.

why shud i convert the tension into kgf. isn't tension the force and therefore shudn't it be kept the same...which is 44N
