(Physics)

a. The weight of an object on Earth is a measurement of the downward force on the object caused by Earth’s gravity. The formula for this force is determined by using Newton’s Second Law:

F = M . Ae

F is the object’s weight.

M is the object’s mass.

Ae is the acceleration caused by Earth’s gravity (32.2 ft/sec2 = 9.82 m/s2). 

Given this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++ program to calculate the weight in lbf of a person having a mass of 4 lbm. Verify the result produced by your program with a hand calculation.


b. After verifying that your program is working correctly, use it to determine the weight, on Earth, of a person having a mass of 3.2 lbm.
