Answer:
Mass of the airplane, m = 562.5 slugs
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the airplane, W = 18,000 lbs
The acceleration due to gravity is, [tex]g=32\ fp/s^2[/tex]
Let m is the mass of the airplane. The weight of an object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity as :
W = m × g
[tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}[/tex]
[tex]m=\dfrac{18000}{32}[/tex]
m = 562.5 slugs
So, the mass of the airplane is 562.5 slugs. Hence, this is the required solution.
