A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 lbm at a rate of 1 ft/s2, and a slug is the mass of an object that wil

l accelerate at a rate of 1 ft/s2 when subjected to a force of 1 lbf.
(
a. Calculate the mass is slugs and the weight in poundals of a 175 lbm man (i) on earth and (ii) on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth of its value on earth.
(
b. A force of 355 poundals is exerted on a 25.0-slug object. At what rate (m/s2) does the object accelerate?

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

Consider the elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The elements mentioned in the series are Na, Mg, Al, Si, and P. It can be seen that all these elements are located in the same period. The atomic number of the mentioned elements are Na-11, Mg-12, Al-13, Si-14, and P-15.

a) There will be an increase in the ionization energy with the increase in the element's atomic number across a period. More energy is needed to withdraw an electron from a completely occupied shell in comparison to an incompletely occupied shell.

The atomic number of Na is 11. When one electron is withdrawn from Na, it gets converted into the inert gas configuration of Ne. Thus, it will require more energy to withdraw the second electron from Na. Hence, Na exhibits the lowest second ionization energy.

b) Across the period, with an increase in the element's atomic number, the atomic radii reduces from left to right. Thus, P exhibits the smallest atomic radius.

c) The metallic nature of the elements reduces from left to right across a period in the periodic table. Thus, P is the least metallic element.

d) Diamagnetic signifies towards the element that exhibits pair electrons in its sub-shells. The electronic configuration of Mg is,

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

In Mg, no unpaired electrons are present, while all the remaining elements mentioned exhibit unpaired electrons in their valence shell. Thus, Mg is the diamagnetic element.
