Chapter 2, Problem 2.18P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The conversion factor that would be used to convert a force from the natural unit to the derived unit in this system.

Concept introduction:

According to Newton’s second law

$F=ma$

Where,

$F$ = force $m$ = mass and $a$ = acceleration

$1l{b}_m\times 1ft/s^2=\frac{1}{32.174}l{b}_f$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The weight in doozies of a 3-cuz object on the moon. And the weight of same object in Lizard Lick, North Carolina.

Concept introduction:

According to Newton’s second law

$F=ma$

Where,

$F$ = force $m$ = mass and $a$ = acceleration

$\frac{1doozy}{5.3623ft/s^2}=1cuz$
