For example from one of my textbooks
So the car has a mass of 3000lb, but then they measure the force applied also in pounds.
Unlike SI units where forces are always measured in N and mass in kg.
A 3000-lb automobile is being driven down a 5° incline at a speed
of 50 mi/h when the brakes are applied, causing a total braking force
of 1200 lb to be applied to the automobile. Determine the distance
traveled by the automobile before it comes to a stop.
