FE - Fundamental Units exam (Correct Answers)
Common units of mass (both English and SI)Correct AnswersGram, Pound, Kilogram,
and Slug
Primary unit for mass (SI)Correct AnswersKilograms (kg)
Primary unit for force(SI)Correct AnswersNewtons (N)
Primary unit for mass (Eng)Correct AnswersPound-mass (lbm)
Primary unit for Force (Eng)Correct AnswersPound-force (lbf)
Relationship between mass and weightCorrect AnswersW=mg where g is the
gravitational constant; mass remains constant and is an inherent property of the item,
weight is dependent upon the value of g at a given location
Gravitational constant on earth (English and SI)Correct Answersg = 32.2 ft/sec²;
9.81m/s²
Note on consistent and inconsistent unitsCorrect AnswersUsing consistent units is
preferable but may not be needed. When inconsistency arises, simply be sure to note
when conversion factors are needed.
Definition of weightCorrect AnswersW= g/gc; the force exerted on an object given it
position in a gravitational field
Specific weight(weight density)Correct Answersγ=W/V where v is volume
length (SI)Correct Answersmeter (m)
