Answer: m=97.52Kg
Explanation: Weight is the amount of gravity acting on a body, which means weight varies when gravity varies. Mass is the amount of matter a body has and it doesn't vary.
To determine a person's mass in kilogram, transform Pound-force in Newton ([N] = kg.m/s²).
The relationship between the units is 1lbf = 4.448N, then:
W = 159*4.448
W = 707.232N
During the course correction, acceleration is 0.74g, i.e.:
a = 0.74*9.8
a = 7.252m/s²
Weight is the multiplication of mass and acceleration of gravity:
W=m*g
[tex]m=\frac{W}{g}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{707.232}{7.252}[/tex]
m = 97.52kg
The person's mass during the travel to Mars is 97.52kg.
