The weight of an object on Earth is 350 newtons. On Mars, the same object would weigh 134 newtons. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars, given that it is 9.8 meters/second2 on Earth?

object mass =mkg
acceleration due to gravity of Mars = gm m/
8^(2)
acceleration due to gravity on Earth ge=−9.8 m/
8^(2)
weight of an object on Earth=m×ge=350N
weight of an object on Mars=m×gm=134N

m x gm = 134m x ge = 350
gm = 134/350 x 9.8 m/
8^(2) = 3.752 m/
8^(2)
