What is a "stone" weight wise?
536041
In Imperial (British) weights and measures a stone is 14 pounds which is composed of 16 ounces. \n\nIt equates to approximately 6.3 Kgs

I think the equation W = m x g (W = weight; m = mass; g = acceleration due to gravity) might address your question.\n\nStating they are interchangeable might be misleading if the statement is not qualified by your textbook. The qualification is that when we are measuring objects from an earth reference point, for all intents and purposes, the weight of an object is proportional to its content (i.e., mass). In mathematical terms, the assumption would be, W = m * 1. \n\nHowever, if we are measuring objects in places other than from an earth reference point, then weight and mass are not interchangeable. For example, the force of gravity on the moon is less than on earth. So as an example, the equation for weight on the moon could be, W = m * .5. With this equation, the weight of an object on the moon is less than its weight on the earth. Here is a math example to illustrate:\n\nObject (Mass) = 100 Kg\ng(Earth) =  1 \ng(Moon) = .5\n\nW(Earth) = 100 x 1\n              = 100 Kg (Object's weight on earth)\n\nW(Moon) = 100 x .5\n              = 50 Kg (Object's weight on moon)\n\nWikipedia might explain the notion of interchange between weight and mass better:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight#Weight_and_mass

We often use the terms "mass" and "weight" interchangeably in our daily speech, but to an astronomer or a physicist they are completely different things. The mass of a body is a measure of how much matter it contains. An object with mass has a quality called inertia. If you shake an object like a stone in your hand, you would notice that it takes a push to get it moving, and another push to stop it again. If the stone is at rest, it wants to remain at rest. Once you've got it moving, it wants to stay moving. This quality or "sluggishness" of matter is its inertia. Mass is a measure of how much inertia an object displays. \n\nWeight is an entirely different thing. Every object in the universe with mass attracts every other object with mass. The amount of attraction depends on the size of the masses and how far apart they are. For everyday-sized objects, this gravitational pull is vanishingly small, but the pull between a very large object, like the Earth, and another object, like you, can be easily measured. How? All you have to do is stand on a scale! Scales measure the force of attraction between you and the Earth. This force of attraction between you and the Earth (or any other planet) is called your weight. \n\nhttp://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/

Each mix design for concrete will vary the weight and density of the mix. Air entrainment, water to cement ratio, coarse stone% and fine aggregate%, cement content, admixture content, fly ash substitution all contribute to the variation in weight. I do agree that 150 lbs per cubic foot is a recognized average when calculating concrete weight. since there is 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, (150 lbs x 27 cubic feet) one cubic yard equals 4050 lbs or 2.025 english tons.

Ok, let's set this straight. Weight is a measure of the force exerted on an object by a gravitational field. It is measured in NEWTONS. Most people are getting this mixed up with mass, which can be measured in metric tons and doesn't change from one gravitational field to another. The weight of the lead on the moon is only 166 Newtons.

At 14 lb to the stone, your 153 lb female friend should be 5'5" to 6' tall (depending on her frame size) to not be overweight.

You haven't stated your height. If you are over 5' 7" tall then 10 stone is an acceptable weight. If you work out a lot then you need to remember that muscle is heavier than fat. If you don't feel or look fat then be happy!\nAs you are 5' 6", you don't have anything to worry about. With plenty of exercise any excess weight will disappear over the next couple of years.
