Remember the formula as per the second Law of Newton: F = m*a
And also remember that the weight is the force with which the mass is attracted by the planet (or satellite in the case of the moon).
With that information you can answer the questions:
a) Weight = F = m*a
m = 175 slugs = 175 lbm
i) Earth
a = 32.17 ft/s^2
Weight on Earth = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft / s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal
ii) Moon
a = [1/6] 32.17 ft/s^2
Weight on the Moon = [1/6]*5,629.75 poundal = 938.29 poundal
b) Force = 355 poundal
m = 25.0 slug
a in m/s^2 = ?
First calculate the force in ft/s^2
F = m*a => a = F/m = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2
Conversion:
14.2 ft / s^2 * [ 0.3048 m/ft] = 4.32816 m/s^2
Answer: 4.33 m/s^2
