    B Why is 1 lbm considered equal 1 lbf?

    My understanding is that 1lbm = l lbf/32.174 ft/s^2 = 3.1081*10^-2 (lb*s^2)/ft (slug) My textbook suddenly claims that 1 lbf is equal to 1 lbm. This doesn't fundamentally make sense to me because one unit is mass and the other is force (which has an acceleration constant). Thanks for helping...
