Question 18

On planet R, a mineral sample weighs 54 N, where g=6.0 N kg−1g=6.0\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}g=6.0 Nkg−1. The sample is taken to planet S, where a second mineral sample is placed beside it. The combined weight of the two samples on planet S is 133 N, where g=7.0 N kg−1g=7.0\ \mathrm{N\,kg^{-1}}g=7.0 Nkg−1.

What is the mass of the second mineral sample?
