Answer:
589.2 lb
Explanation:
Newton gravitation Force, F = G((Mm)/r²)
G= gravitational Constant (6.674×10-11 Nm²/ Kg²)
Since mass is constant.
F=mg
so applying F=mg into the newton gravitational force equation;
Surface gravity, g=GM/r²
where M is the planet's mass; Earth mass = 5.972*10²⁴
r is the planet's radius; Earth radius = 6.371*10⁶m
So g on mars = 6.674×10⁻¹¹ * 0.1*5.972*10²⁴/(0.5*6.371*10⁶)²
g on mars = 3.986*10¹³/1.0147*10¹³ = 3.928
Therefore weight on mars = weight on earth * g on mars
weight on mars = 150*3.928 =589.2lb
