Answer to Problem 1.1P

96.2lb, 429N, 43.636kg.

Explanation of Solution

Concept Used:

1 slug = 32.2 pounds.

32.2 lb = 143 N.

1 lb = 0.453592 kg.

Calculation:

The weight of 1 slug is 32.2 pounds.

Therefore,

3slugs=3×32.2pounds=96.6lb

As 32.2 lb = 143 N.

So,

3slugs=3×143=429N

The mass to kilogram,

As 1 lb = 0.453592 kg, therefore

96.2lb=96.2×0.453592 kg=43.636kg.
