Question

What is the mass in both slugs and kilograms of a 1000-lb beam?

Answer 1

31.1 slug, 453.4 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

mass of the beam is 1000 lb

to convert mass of beam into slugs and kilograms.

1 lb is equal to 0.0311 slug

1000 lb = 1000 × 0.0311

= 31.1 slug

now, conversion of lb into kg

1 lb is equal to 0.4534 kg

so,

1000 lb = 1000 × 0.4534

= 453.4 Kg

hence, 1000 lb of beam in slugs is equal to 31.1 slugs and in kilo gram is 453.4 Kg.
