Besides gently (IMHO) chastising the intervening poster's rant, I still provided a useful answer to the original poster's question (12+ cu. ft.) and a reference to the source. Russell Kent continued: Pounds (lbs.) are a measure of weight, not mass (which in the English system would be slugs). Gene Nygaard responded: Where'd you get that idea? Uh, 2 years of high school physics (a jillion years ago). Perhaps a few web references will help clear the cobwebs: http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Slug.html http://www.physics.ucla.edu/k-6connection/Mass,w,d.htm Russell Kent |
