Estimate the mass in kilograms and the weight in pounds of a typical sumo wrestler. How do your estimates for the wrestler compare to your estimates of the average mass and weight of the students in your physics class? Do a web search if necessary to help make the estimates. In your solution list what values you assume for the quantities you use in making your estimates.
