Question

Pedro has a mass of 72kg. What would Pedro weigh on Mars? (The gravitational field strength on Mars is 3.7N/kg.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of Pedro on Mars is 266.4 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Pedro, m = 72 kg

Let W is the weight of Pedro on the Mars. We know that the product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity is called the weight on an object. Mass remains same everywhere. It can be calculated as :

$W=mg$

g is the gravitational field strength on Mars, g = 3.7 N/kg

$W=72\ kg\times 3.7\ N/kg$

W = 266.4 N

So, the weight of Pedro on Mars is 266.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
