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?
