Question:
The fern is defined as the unit of force required to accelerate a unit of mass, called the bung, with the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the moon, which is one-sixth of the normal gravitational acceleration on earth.
(a) What is the conversion factor that would be used to convert a force from the natu4ral unit to the derived unit in this system? (Give both its numerical value and its units).
(b) What is the weight in ferns of a 3-bung object on the moon? What does the same object weight in Lizard Lick, North Carolina?

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.
