Hey physics newfag here.
Can i use tons and meters cubed in the density formula? Or do i need to convert to kilograms or something like that
you can use seashells and decimeters if you want it doesnt make a difference.
Newton, Joule, watt etc are always express as function of kg, so use kg.
Ton is a "pop" method to express mass, but don't use it in your problem :)

1 joule is .3 seashells per nu-meter.
easy conversion, brainlet

global rule of science : always use the international units system, its way easier. Unless you're a chemist in which case you can do as you like because you ain't a scientist

Always use SI, unless you're a particle theorist in which case use Planck units, or unless you're a general relativist in which case use geometrised units. Unless you're working in electromagnetism in which case use CGS (or Gaussian CGS). But one thing you should never do is mix one system with another.

because it's hard to convert a lb to a kg

no, it's easy to convert retard unit to actual one. What is way more boring is to change all the formulas you got so you can use them with retard units.
So, yup, use actual useful units.

the formulas don't change. the ratio of conversion is constant.

yuuuup. you know actually, from times to times, actual scientists have to use things a bit more complex than the shit you learn in highschool? things where the units actually matters.

and as I feel you'll be like yeah, show me one, good luck with the navier-stokes equations if you decide to use imperial units.

Use SI whenever possible, or take note that your result isn't SI and convert it after.
