In Addition: Answer the following questions based on Section 4.4.
Recall that we derived the Logistic Population Model in class: P'=kP(1-P/M)
Notes:
[Force]=[mass]x[acceleration]
or
[N]=[kg]x[m/s^2]
So a Newton is a (kg m)/s^2. The other thing they neglect to tell you is that weight is a force, not a mass. The reason these problems (5.1.1 anyway) are necessary is that in everyday usage we, users of the British system, confuse weight and mass. We think of pounds as both weight and mass, and no one has ever heard of a slug. It's just a charming part of our culture.
