A slug is the mass of an object that will accelerate at a rate of 1 ft/s^2 when subjected to 1 lbf (pound force). 1 lb, f = 1 slug*ft/(s^2) Calculate the mass in slugs of an 246 lb,m object

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass of 246 lb object is 7.646 slugs.

Explanation:

Mass of the object = m

Weight of the object = W = 246 lb

Acceleration due to gravity= g = [tex]32.174 ft/s^2[/tex]

[tex] Weight=mass \times g[/tex]

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

[tex]1 lb=slugs\times 1 ft/s^2[/tex]

[tex]1 slugs=\frac{lb\times s^2}{ft}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{246 lb}{32.174 ft/s^2}=7.646 lb s^2/ft=7.646 slugs[/tex]

Mass of 246 lb object is 7.646 slugs.
