Question:
A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 lbm at a rate of 1 ft/s2, and a slug is the mass of an object that will accelerate at a rate of 1 ft/s2 when subjected to a force of 1 lbf.
(a) Calculate the mass is slugs and the weight in poundals of a 175 lbm man (i) on earth and (ii) on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is one-sixth of its value on earth.
(b) A force of 355 poundals is exerted on a 25.0-slug object. At what rate (m/s2) does the object accelerate?
Step by Step Answer:

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
