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.

olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Thermodynamics system :

 Thermodynamics system is a region or space in which study of matters can be done.The system is separated from surroundings by a boundary this boundary maybe flexible or fixed it depends on situations.The out side the system is called surroundings.

Generally thermodynamics systems are of three types

1.Closed system(control mass system)

  Only energy transfer take place ,no mass transfer take place.

2.Open system(control volume system)

 Both mass as well as energy transfer take place.

3.Isolated system

   Neither mass or nor energy transfer take place.

At steady state ,property is did not changes with respect to time.
