The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Starting from these assumptions, estimate the specific weight of water on Mars in lbf/ft3. Note that when converting lbm (pounds mass) to lbf (pounds force), a unit conversion called gc is required (1 lbf = 32.2 lbm ft s-2). The conversion factor ensures that (under normal gravity), a 100 lbm load generates 100 lbf of gravitational forcearrow_forward1. A double-acting air compressor has 18 x 12 inches, 626 rpm.
