Question

A man weighs 180lbf at a place where g=32.1 ft/s2. What is his weigh(in lbf) on the moon where g=5.47ft/s2? what is his mass(in lb

Answer 1

Mass = 5.6075 lb

Weight on moon = 30.7 lbf

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the man at gravity, g =
`32.1\ ft/s^2` is 180 lbf

Also,

Weight = Mass × Gravitational acceleration

So,

180 lbf = Mass ×
`32.1\ ft/s^2`

Mass = 5.6075 lb

Given, g =
`5.47\ ft/s^2` and mass = 5.6075 lb

Thus,

Weight = Mass × Gravitational acceleration = 5.6075 ×
`5.47\ ft/s^2` = 30.7 lbf

Weight on the moon = 30.7 lbf
