Question

A box has a mass of 6.0 kg. What is its weight on the mars, where the acceleration due to
gravity is 0.38 times that on Earth? *

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of the box is 22.38 N.

Explanation:

The weight (W) of the mass is given by:

$W = mg$

Where:            

m: is the mass of the box = 6.0 kg

$g_{m}$: is the acceleration due to gravity of mars

Since the acceleration due to the gravity of mars is 0.38 times that on Earth we have:

$g_{m} = 0.38g_{E} = 0.38*9.81 m/s^{2} = 3.73 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the weight of the mass is:

$W = mg = 6.0 kg*3.73 m/s^{2} = 22.38 N$

Therefore, the weight of the box is 22.38 N.

I hope it helps you!
