Answer: a) W(earth) = 935.62 lbs

b) Mass of rocks in slugs = 29.06 slugs

Explanation:

a) From Newton's law, W = mg. Whether on the moon or on earth. Although, the mass of the rocks everywhere is the same, that is, mass of rocks on the moon = mass of rocks on earth.

W(moon) = mg(moon)

W(moon) = 154 lbs

g(moon) = 5.30 ft/s2

m = W(moon)/g(moon) = 154/5.3 = 29.06 lb.s2/ft

W(earth) = m g(earth)

g(earth) = 32.2 ft/s2

W(earth) = 29.06 × 32.2 = 935.62 lbs.

b) A slug = 1 lb.s2/ft, therefore the mass of the rocks in slugs is 29.06 slugs.
