My computer has a mass of 0.031080997078386 slug the Earth's surface.

a. What is its mass in pounds mass (lbm) on Mars where the acceleration of gravity is 5.35 ft/sec^2?
b. What is its weight in pounds force (lbf) on the Mars surface where the acceleration of gravity is 5.35 ft/sec^2 ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "0.187 lbm and 1 lbf".

Explanation:

The mass = [tex]0.031080997078386\ slug[/tex]

Calculating mass on Mars:

[tex]\to m=m_g\frac{g}{g_e}[/tex]

        [tex]=0.031080997078386 \times \frac{32.2}{5.35}\\\\=0.187 \ lbm[/tex]

[tex]\to W=mg_e[/tex]

        [tex]=0.187 \times 5.35\\\\=1 \ lbf[/tex]
