    a) 152000 slugs

    b) 2220000 kg or 2220 metric tons

    Explanation:

    A body with a weight of 4.9*10^6 lbf has a mass of

    4.9*10^6 lbm * 1 lbf/lbm = 4.9*10^6 lbm

    This mass value can then be converted to other mass values.

    1 slug is 32.17 lbm

    Therefore:

    4.9*10^6 lbm * 1 slug / (32.17 lbm) = 152000 slugs

    1 lb is 0.453 kg

    Therefore:

    4.9*10^6 lbm / (1/0.453) * kg/lbm = 2220000 kg
