After completing this chapter, you should be able to
|
|
|
| 1. Describe the relationships among force, mass, and acceleration and give the consistent units for each in the metric and U.S. customary systems of units. |
|
|
|
| 2. Define the units newton and slug and explain why they are derived units rather than fundamental units. |
|
|
|
| 3. Demonstrate by definition and example your understanding of the distinction between mass and weight. |
|
|
|
| 4. Determine mass from weight and weight from mass at a point at which the acceleration due to gravity is known. |
|
|
|
| 5. Draw a free-body diagram for objects in motion with constant acceleration, set the resultant force equal to the total mass times the acceleration, and solve for unknown parameters. |
