The gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars is 3.7 N/kg. An instrument pack on a Mars lander has a mass of 12.0 kg.
Calculate the weight of this instrument pack on Mars. State the unit of weight.
Use the equation:
weight=mass×gravitational field strength \text{weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{gravitational field strength} weight=mass×gravitational field strength
