A man goes to a traditional market to buy a steak for dinner. He finds a 12‑oz steak (1 lbm = 16 oz) for $5.50. He then goes to the adjacent international market and finds a 300‑g steak of identical quality for $5.20. Which steak is the better buy?
A vessel with a tonnage of 4000 t and an empty KG = 3.0 m, KM = 5.3 m is loaded with 6000 t of cargo (KG = 5 m). To calculate how many tons of cargo the ship could still accept if loaded on deck, where KG = 10 m and the minimum positive value for GM would be 0.3 m.
If the mass of an object is 10 lbm, what is its weight, in lbf, at a location where g = 32.0 ft/s2 ?
