Answer:
Mass of 246 lb object is 7.646 slugs.
Explanation:
Mass of the object = m
Weight of the object = W = 246 lb
Acceleration due to gravity= g = [tex]32.174 ft/s^2[/tex]
[tex] Weight=mass \times g[/tex]
[tex]W=mg[/tex]
[tex]1 lb=slugs\times 1 ft/s^2[/tex]
[tex]1 slugs=\frac{lb\times s^2}{ft}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{246 lb}{32.174 ft/s^2}=7.646 lb s^2/ft=7.646 slugs[/tex]
Mass of 246 lb object is 7.646 slugs.
