A rocket has a mass of 250(103) slugs on earth. Specify
(a) its mass in SI units and (b) its weight in SI units. If the
rocket is on the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity
is gm = 5.30 ft> s2, determine to three significant figures
(c) its weight in SI units and (d) its mass in SI units.
SOLUTION
Using Table 1–2 and applying Eq. 1–3, we have
