Answer:

The force of gravity = 40 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 10 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars, a = 4 m/s²

We need to find the force of gravity of the ball on Mars. The force of gravity on an object is given by :

F = mg

Substitute all the values,

F = 10 kg × 4 m/s²

F = 40 N

Hence, the correct option is (B).
