<span>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.

The weight is the attraction force exerted by the earth (or moon) on the body

This force is calculated by the second Law of Newton: F = m*a = m*g = weight.

i) In the Earth:

m = 175 lbm
g = 32.17 ft/s^2

=> Weight = 175 lbm * 32.17 ft/s^2 = 5,629.75 poundal

ii) g = 1/6 * 32.17 ft/s^2 = 5.36 ft/s^2

=> Weight = 175 lbm * 5.36 ft/s^2 = 938 poundal



b. A force of 355 poundals is exerted on a 25.0-slug object. At what rate (m/s2) does the object accelerate?

Second Law of Newton: F = m*a => a = F/m

a = 355 poundal / 25.0 slug = 14.2 ft/s^2

Conversion to m/s^2:

14.2 ft/s^2 * [0.3048 m/ft] =  4.33 m/s^2

If the mass of the object below is 28g, what is the density of the object below. Units are in cm below. Please round your answer
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

d = 0.93 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object = 28 g

Volume of object = 3cm×2cm×5cm

density of object = ?

Solution:

Volume of object = 3cm × 2cm ×5cm

Volume of object = 30 cm³

Density of object:

d = m/v

by putting values,

d = 28 g/ 30 cm³

d = 0.93 g/cm³
