    Answer

    given,

    mass of oil tank = 50 slugs

    a) we know,

    1 slug = 32.2 lb

    50 slug = 32.2 x 50

    = 1610 lb

    weight in terms of newton

    1 slug = 14.594 Kg

    50 slug = 50 x 14.594

    = 729.7 kg

    weight = m g

    weight = 729.7 x 9.8

    = 7151.06 N

    b) mass of the oil will be same on moon i. e. = 50 slug

    weight of the oil on the moon will be

    = [tex] / dfrac{1}{6}/times 1610

    = 268.33 lb
