Question:

The force of gravity on the Moon is one-sixth (i.e., 1/6.0) as strong as the force of gravity on Earth. An apple weighs 1.0 N on Earth.

(a) What is the mass of the apple on the Moon, in lbm?

(b) What is the weight of the apple on the Moon, in lbf? (Conversion factor: 1.00 kg = 2.20 lbm)


Assume that on the surface of the Earth, g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 (i.e., each to three significant figures). Make sure you are reporting the solution to the proper number of significant figures.
