Answer:
one-third of its weight on Earth's surface
Explanation:
Weight of an object is = W = m*g
Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s
Gravity on Mars = g₂ = g₁
Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁
Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )
As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )
Put equation (2) in equation (1)
so
Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3
Weight of probe on Mars = m * g₁ =
w₁
⇒Weight of probe on Mars = Weight of probe on earth
