Final answer:
The weight of a person who has a mass of 130 lbm is 130 lbf, while the same mass would weigh approximately 570 N when converted using the appropriate conversion factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
If your mass is 130 lbm (pounds mass), to find your weight, you would need to convert mass into force, which is measured in pounds-force (lbf) or newtons (N) on Earth. Given that 1 lbm is approximately equal to 0.4539 kg, and knowing the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2, you can calculate the force (weight) in newtons. However, since the standard acceleration due to gravity used in converting between lbm and lbf is 32.2 ft/s2, the weight in pound-force (lbf) will be numerically equal to the mass in pound-mass (lbm) in most practical situations, assuming Earth's gravity. Therefore, the correct answer is d. 130 lbf. Looking at the given information where 1 N = 0.225 lb, you can confirm that 130 lb cannot be the same as 130 N, since 130 lb would convert to approximately 130/0.225 = 577.78 N, which is closest to option c. 570 N. This demonstrates that options a and b are incorrect since they confuse mass with weight.
