A newton is the SI unit of force, a pound is a measure of weight or force in Imperial measure where the equivalent of "newton" is "poundal", the unit of force necessary to accelerate 1 pound-mass to 1 foot per second per second.

In terms of weight (as opposed to mass), one pound is about 4.4 times heavier than one newton.
A force of 9.8 N is the force exerted on a 1 kilogram mass at rest by the force of Earth's gravity at sea level. So 10 N is the force of about a 1.02 kg mass (approximately 2.25 pounds force)This is a scalar measurement.
if you are thinking of 100 pounds-force, then the answer is: 100 pounds = 444.822 N
20 pounds is 20 / 2.20462262 = 9.072 kg F = m * g where m is 9.072 kg and g is 9.81 m/s2So the amount of newtons acting on 20 pounds is: 9.072 * 9.81 = 89 newton
18kg converts to about 39.6 pounds @2.2lbs per kg
.525 kilonewtons = 118.025 pounds of force.
