Question

The Air Force One (Boeing 747-200) has a long-range mission takeoff gross load 833,000 pounds (Ibm). What is Air Force One's takeoff mass in: a. gram (9) b. kilogram (kg) c. tonne (ton) d. Mton

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass in:

1) Grams =$377765.5\times 10^{3}grams$

2) Kilograms =$377765.5kilograms$

3)Tonnes =$377.7655tonnes$

4) Megatonnes =$0.378megatonnes$

Explanation: The given mass of the aircraft in pounds is 833,000 pounds.

Part 1)

Since we know that 1 pound equals 453.5 grams thus by ratio we have

833,000 pounds =$833000lb\times 453.5\frac{g}{lb}=377765.5\times 10^{3}grams$

Part 2)

Since we know that 1000 grams equals 1 kilogram

thus the above mass in kilograms equals$\frac{377765.5\times 10^{3}}{1000}=377765.5kg$

Part 3)

Since there are 1000 kilograms in 1 tonne

thus the given mass is converted into tonnes as

$mass_{tonnes}=\frac{377765.5kg}{1000}=377.765tonnes$

Part 4)

Since 1 Mega tonne(Mton) equals 1000 tonnes thus the given mass is converted into mega tonnes as

$mass_{M\cdot tonn}=\frac{377.7655tonnes}{1000}=0.378Megatonnes$
