At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 125 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of gravity, in ft/s2, at that elevation? If the balloon drifts to another elevation where g = 32.05 ft/s2, what is her weight, in lbf, and mass, in lb?
The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.72 m/s2. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Starting from these assumptions, estimate the specific weight of water on Mars in lbf/ft3. Note that when converting lbm (pounds mass) to lbf (pounds force), a unit conversion called gc is required (1 lbf = 32.2 lbm ft s-2). The conversion factor ensures that (under normal gravity), a 100 lbm load generates 100 lbf of gravitational force
The mass of a given aircraft at sea level (g = 32.1 fps2) is 200 tons. Find its mass in lb, slugs, and kg and its (gravitational) weight in lb when it is travelling at a 50,000-ft elevation. The acceleration of gravity g decreases by 3.33 x 10-6 fps2 for each foot of elevation.
