Calculate: (a) the weight (in lbf) of a 30.0 lbm object. (b) the mass in kg of an object that weighs 44n. (c) the weight in dynes of a 15-ton object (not metric tons)

a) 965,1 lbf

b) 4,5 kg

c) 1,33 * 10^6 dynes

Explanation:

Mass of an object refers to the amount of mattter it cotains, it can be expressed it gr, kg, lbm, ton, etc.

Weight of an object refers to a force, and is the measurement of the pull of gravitiy on an object. It may be definide as the mass times the acceleration of gravity.

                                        w=mg

In Planet Earth, the nominal "average" value for gravity is 9,8 m/s² (in the International  System) or 32,17 ft/s² (in the FPS system).

To solve this problem we'll use the following conversion factors:

1 lbf = 1 lbm*ft/s²

1 N = 1 kg*m/s²

1 dyne = 1 gr*cm/s²   and 1 N =10^5 dynes

1 ton = 907,18 kg

1 k = 1000 gr

a) m = 30 lbm

b) w = 44 N

First, we clear m of the weight equation and then we replace our data.

c) m = 15 ton

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
