Answer:
a) W = 25.5 lbf
b) W = 150 lbf
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm
local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2
a) weight on spring scale
it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body
W = mg
b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity
thus W= 150 lbf
