Question
  1. A person weighs 30 lb on the moon, where g = 32 ft/s2.Determine (a) the mass of the person; and (b) the weight of the person on earth.
  2. Convert the following: (a) 400 lb ft to kN • m; (b) 6 m/s to mi/h;(c) 20 lb/in.2 to kPa; and (d) 500 slug/in. to kg/m.
  3. The kinetic energy of a car of mass, m moving with velocity v is E = mv2/2. If m = 1000 kg and v = 6 m/s, compute E in (a) kN · m; and (b) lb ft.
  4. A differential equation is d^2/dt^2=Ay^2=byt where y represents a distance and 1 is time. Determine the dimensions of constants A and B for which the equation will be dimensionally homogeneous.
  5. Calculate the gravitational force between the earth and the moon in newtons. The distance between the earth and the moon is 384 x 103

Note: mass of earth = 5.9742 X 1024 kg, radius of earth = 6378 km, mass of moon = 0.073 483 x 1024 kg, radius of moon = 1737 km.
