A body weighs 1000 lbf when exposed to a standard earth gravity of g=32.174 ft/s^2. a. What is its mass in kg? b. What is its weight in N if on moon (gmoon = 1.62 m/s^2)? c. How fast will it accelerate if under a force of 400 lbf on moon and on the earth in m/s.

Respuesta :

Answer

given,

weight = 1000 lbf

g = 32.174 ft/s²

mass =[tex] \dfrac{1000}{32.174}[/tex]

m = 31 slug

1 slug = 14.593 kg

m = 31 x 14.593

m = 452.383 Kg

b) weight on moon

  W = m g

   W = 452.383 x 1.62

   W= 732.86 N

c) we know,

   F = m  a

  400 lbf = 31 slugs x a

  a = 12.90 ft/s²

1 ft = 0.304 m

  a = 3.92 m/s²

The mass of the body in kg is 453.55kg

The weight of the body in kg is 734.751N

The body will accelerate at the rate of 3.92m/s

The formula for calculating the weight of the body is expressed as;

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32.174ft/s²

W is the weight of the body = 1000lbf

m = W/g

m = 1000/32.174

m = 31.080 slug

Recall that 1 slug = 14.593 kg

31.080slug = 31.080 * 14.593

31.080 slug = 453.55kg

Hence the mass of the body in kg is 453.55kg

b) Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 453.55 * 1.62

Weight = 734.751N

c) The formula for calculating the applied force is expressed as F = ma

a = F/m

F = 400lbf

mass = 31 slugs

a = 400/31

a = 12.9ft/s²

Expressing acceleration in m/s² will give 3.92m/s²
