Question

A body weighs 1000 lbf when exposed to a standard earth gravity g = 32.174 ft/s2. (a) What
is its mass in kg? (b) What will the weight of this body be in N if it is exposed to the
moon’s standard acceleration gmoon = 1.62 m/s2?

Answer 1

81064, Engineering / Mechanical Engineering/Completed

P=m*g P=1000lbf=4448N g=32.174 ft/s²=9,8m/s²

m=P/g=4448,2 /9,8=453,9kg

Pmoon=m*gmoon gmoon= 1.62 m/s²

Pmoon=453,9*1.62=735,3N
