Han,
That is *not* the problem with your equation. The confusion of
mass and force *is* the problem when you omit the inverse unit of
acceleration which must follow your number 0.16, and especially when you
use lbm and lbf which are not a coherent pair of units for f=m.a, or
in the format of your equation below, m=f(1/a).
