Q.
One slug is equivalent to $14.6\, kg$. A force of 10 pound is applied on a body of $1\, kg$. The acceleration of the body is
Physical World, Units and Measurements
Solution:
Force, $F=m a$
$\therefore a =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{10 \text { pound }}{1 kg }$
$=10 \frac{\text { pound }}{ kg }=\frac{10 \text { slug } ft }{ kg s ^{2}}$
$=10 \times 14.6\, kg \frac{ ft }{ kg s ^{2}}=146 \frac{ ft }{ s ^{2}}$
$=146 \times 0.30\, ms ^{-2}=44.5\, ms ^{-2}$
