Problem

A rock has a mass of 3.03.0 slugs. Use the conversion 1 slug=14.59 kg1\,\text{slug} = 14.59\,\text{kg} and gEarth=9.8 N/kgg_\text{Earth} = 9.8\,\text{N/kg}. (1) Convert the rock’s mass to kilograms. (2) Calculate the rock’s weight in newtons on Earth. (3) Determine the rock’s weight in newtons on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 15 N/kg15\,\text{N/kg}.
