the weight of a body is not constant.
b.
mass is measured in dynes and weight in grams or pounds.
c.
gravity affects mass inversely with the square of the distance.
d.
at an acceleration of 32 ft./sec/sec the enertia of a 5-lbs. weight is
twice that of a 10-lbs. weight.
2.
Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is
a.
exerted in the direction of piston travel.
b.
exerted equally in all directions with a loss.
c.
at right angles to the applied force.
d.
equal in all directions without loss.
