Part 1 A tank of oil has a mass of 26 slugs. Determine its weight in pounds and in newtons at the earth's surface. What would be its mass (in slugs) and its weight (in pounds) if located on the moon's surface where the gravitational attraction is approximately one-sixth that at the earth's surface? (a) What is the relation between the weight W of an object, the mass m, and gravitational attraction g? mg² mg/2 W = W = W = mg W = m/g
