Problems:
1. What is the weight (Kgf) of a 66 kg-mass man at standard condition?
m = 66 kgm g = 9.8066 m/s2
GIVEN: m = 66 kgm g = 9.8066 m/s2
REQUIRED: weight (kgf)
m Fg mg
FORMULA: = Fg =
k g k

SOLUTION:
mg
Fg = k
m
(66 kgm )(9.8066 2)
s
Fg = (9.8066 kgm −m/kgf −s2 )

Fg = 66 𝐤𝐠 𝐟

2. What is the mass (lbm) of an object at standard condition which weighs 50 lb?
Fg = 50 lbf g = 32.174 ft/s2
GIVEN: Fg = 50 lbf g = 32.174 ft/s2
REQUIRED: mass (lbm)
m Fg Fg (k)
FORMULA: = m=
k g g
SOLUTION:
Fg (k)
m= g
 (50 lbf )(32.174 lbm −ft/lbf −s2 )
m= (32.174 ft/s2 )

m = 50 lbm

3. Five masses where the acceleration due to gravity is 30.5 ft/s2 are as follows:
m1 = 500-gram mass, m2 = weighs 800-gram force, m3 = 15 poundals, m4 = 3
lbf and m5 = 0.01 slug mass.
What is the total mass expressed in a.) grams b.) pounds c.) slugs?
GIVEN: g = 30.5 ft/s2 m3 = 15 pounds
m1 = 500-gram mass m4 = 3 lbf
m2 = weighs 800-gram force m5 = 0.01 slug mass
REQUIRED: Total mass expressed in
a. grams
b. pounds
c. slugs
SOLUTION:
a. Total mass expressed in grams
m1 = 500-grams mass
m2 = 800-grams force g = 30.5 ft/s2 g =?
12 inches 2.54 cm
g = (30.5 ft/s2) ( )( )
1 ft 1 inch
g = 929.64 cm/ s2
m2 Fg Fg (k)
= m2 =
k g g
(800 gf )(980.66 gm −cm/gf −s2 )
m2 =
924.64 cm/ s2
m2 = 843.90517 gm

m3 = 15 poundals g = 30.5 ft/ s2

Fg 15 lbm −ft/s2
m3 = = = 0.4918032787
g 30.5 ft/s2
1 kg 1000 gm
= 0.4918032787 lbm ( ) ( )
2.2 lbm 1 kg
m3 = 223.54694 gm
 m4 = 3 lbf g = 30.5 ft/sec2
m4 Fg Fg (k)
= m4 =
k g g
(3 lbf)(32.174 lbm− ft/lbf −s2)
m4 =
30.5 ft/s2

m4 = 3.164655738 lbm
1 kg 1000 gm
= 3.164655738 lbm ( ) ( )
2.2 lbm 1 kg

m4 = 1438.47988 gm

m5 = 0.01 slug mass g = 30.5 ft/sec2

m5 Fg Fg (k)
= m5 =
k g g
(0.01 slug)(32.174 lbm) 1 kg 1000 gm
m5 = ( ) (2.2 lb ) ( )
1 slug m 1 kg

m5 = 146.24545 gm

a. Total mass expresses in grams

= m1 + m2 + m3 + m4 + m5
= 500 gm + 843.90517 gm + 223.54694 gm + 1438.47988 gm + 146.24545 gm
Grams = 3152.17744gm
b. Total mass expressed in pounds
1 kg 2.2 lbm
= 3152.17744 gm ( )( )
1000 gm 1 kg
Pounds = 6.93479 lbm

c. Total mass expressed in slugs

1 slug
= 6.93479 lbm ( )
32.174 lbm
Slugs = 0.21554 slug

SUMMARY OF ANSWERS:
1. Fg = 66 𝐤𝐠 𝐟 3a. Grams = 3152.17744 gm 3c. Slugs = 0.21554 slug
2. m = 50 lbm 3b. Pounds = 6.93479 lbm
