No, Newton's Cradle is not an example of a perpetual motion machine. A perpetual motion machine hypothetically runs forever via some external, infinite power source (or, alternatively, it simply requires no additional momentum to continue). However, a Newton's Cradle does not continue forever: its energy slowly falls over time, making it non-perpetual.

What is the formula in converting kilogram to newton?

Multiply kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). The formula is: F = M * A F = Force (AKA Newtons, in the following example) M = Mass A = Acceleration For example: 60 kilograms needs to be converted to Newtons. 60*9.8 = 588 Newtons

A machine with a machanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons what output force is produced by this machine?

If the machine were ideal ( 100% effiency) the output force would be 300 N In practice you might get 250 - 270.
