In British engineering system the unit of mass is slug while the unit of force is force is pound. How many kg are in a slug? |
|
Answer» We know that, 1 slug is that mass of a body which moves with an acceleration of `1 ft//s^(2)` under the action of a force of one pound, i.e., 1 slug = 1b force`//(ft//s^(2))` but ib force `=[g] xx 1b` (mass) or 1b force `=[32.2 ft//s^(2)] xx 1b` (mass) So, 1 slug `=[32.3 ft//s^(2)] 1b` (mass) `//[ft//s^(2)]` or 1 slug `=32.2 1b` (mass) `=32.2 xx 0.4536 kg` 1 slug `=14.59 kg` |
