A solid rocket booster is ordered with the specification that it is to produce a total of 10 million pounds of thrust. If this number is mistaken for the thrust in Newtons, by how much, in pounds, will the thrust be in error?

- 7751798.6 pounds = - 7751 × 10^3 pounds.

Explanation:

Without mincing words, let us dive straight into the the solution to the above problem.

So, we are given the following data oe parameters which is going to help in solving this particular Question or problem.

We are given that the number of thrust = 10 million pounds of thrust. This is also equal to mistaken thrust which is = 10 million Newtons.

Thus, if 4.448 newton = 1 ponds, then,

10 million Newtons = x pounds. Hence,

x = 10 million Newtons/ 4.448 Newtons = 2248201.4 pounds.

Hence, 10 million Newtons = 2248201.4 pounds.

Therefore, error = mistaken thrust( in pounds) - total thrust(in pounds) = 2248201.4 pounds - 10 million thrust = - 7751798.6 pounds.
