Answer:
<em>a) 4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>
<em>b) 65.8 kg</em>
<em>c) 645 N</em>
<em>d) 23.8 lb</em>
<em>e) 65.8 kg</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Weight of the man on Earth = 145 lb
a) Mass in slug is...
32.174 pound = 1 slug
145 pound = slug
= 145/32.174 = <em>4.51 lbf-s^2/ft</em>
b) Mass in kg is...
2.205 pounds = 1 kg
145 pounds = kg
= 145/2.205 = <em>65.8 kg</em>
c) Weight in Newton = mg
where
m is mass in kg
g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s^2
Weight in Newton = 65.8 x 9.81 = <em>645 N</em>
d) If on the moon with acceleration due to gravity of 5.30 ft/s^2,
1 m/s^2 = 3.2808 ft/s^2
m/s^2 = 5.30 ft/s^2
= 5.30/3.2808 = 1.6155 m/s^2
weight in Newton = mg = 65.8 x 1.6155 = 106
weight in pounds = 106/4.448 = <em>23.8 lb</em>
e) The mass of the man does not change on the moon. It will therefore have the same value as his mass here on Earth
mass on the moon = <em>65.8 kg</em>
