Mars has been colonized by humans...(see picture attached).

2. Mars has been colonized by humans. One of the early colonists brought a scale from the earth that gives "weight" readings in units of pounds. Assuming that the persons mass was 178 pounds on earth, and a. The weight of that person in pounds-force (Ib), as reported by the scale on Earth (where the b. The weight of that person in pounds-force (b), as reported by the scale on Mars (look up the that this mass did not change on the trip to Mars, determine the following acceleration of gravity is 32.174 ft/s 2) acceleration of gravity on Mars)

Explanation / Answer

a)weight of the person on earth = 178*32.174=5726.972 lbf

b)acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 12.467 ft/s2

weight of the person on Mars = 178*12.467=2219.126 lbf
