Question 11

The gravitational field strength on Mars is smaller than that on Earth. An exploration rover carries a solid brass calibration cylinder from Earth to Mars. Three quantities of this cylinder are considered:

  1. the mass of the cylinder;
  2. the volume of the cylinder;
  3. the weight of the cylinder.

Which of these quantities have the same value on Mars as they did on Earth? (Assume any external temperature or pressure variations have a negligible effect on the cylinder.)

A

1 and 2 only

B

1 and 3 only

C

2 and 3 only

D

1, 2, and 3
