You have negotiated with the Omicronians for a base on the planet Omicron Persei 7. The architects working with you to plan the base need to know the acceleration of a freely falling object at the surface of the planet in order to adequately design the structures. The Omicronians have told you that the value is gOP7=7.29 flurggrom2, but your architects use the units metersecond2, and from your previous experience you know that both the Omicronians and your architects are terrible at unit conversion. Thus, it's up to you to do the unit conversion. Fortunately, you know the unit equality relationships: 5.24flurg=1meter and 1grom=0.493second. What is the value of gOP7 in the units your architects will use, in meter-second2?

We are given two pieces of information, 5.24 flurg = 1 meter, 1 grom = 0.493 second. If that is so, we can say that there are two possible conversion units, 5.25 flurg / meter, and 0.493 second / grom.

_____

We want to convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 ( I believe? ) to the units meters / second^2. But, let's break this down into bits. It would be convenient to first convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 to the units meters / grom^2, by dividing the conversion factors as to cancel out the appropriate things, which we will go into detail on a bit later ( using the first conversion factor ). Respectively we can convert meters / grom^2 to meters / grom * s, canceling out the flurg ( through the second conversion factor ). And now we would need to get rid of the grom, dividing similarly.

_____

( 1 ) ( flurg / grom^2 ) / ( flurg / meters ) - first conversion unit

= flurg / grom^2 * meters /flurg

= ( meters * flurg ) / ( grom^2 * flurg )

= meters /grom^2,

7.29 flurg / grom^2 / 5.24 flurg / meter = ( About ) 1.39 meter / grom^2

( 2 ) ( meter / grom^2 ) / ( second / grom ) - second conversion unit

= meter / grom^2 * grom / second

= ( meter * grom ) / ( grom^2 * second )

= meter / ( grom * second ),

( 1.39 meter / grom^2 ) / 0.493 second / grom = ( About ) 2.82195 meter / grom * second

( 3 ) ( 2.82195 meter / ( grom * second ) ) / 0.493 second / grom = 5.724 meter / second^2

( And thus, the value of gOP7 in the units the architects will use should be about 5.724 meters / second^2 )

The value of gOP7 in the units your architects will use is 5.724 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

Given that 5.24 flurg = 1 meter,

1 grom = 0.493 second.

First, we will convert the length units:

[tex]7.29 flurg / grom^2 / 5.24 flurg / meter = 1.39 meter / grom^2[/tex]

Now we convert the time units:

[tex]1.39 meter / grom^2 / 0.493 second / grom = 2.82195 meter / grom * second[/tex]

[tex]2.82195 meter / ( grom * second ) ) / 0.493 second / grom = 5.724 meter / second^2[/tex]

The value of gOP7 in the units the architects will use is [tex]5.724m/s^2[/tex]
