Question

The European Space Agency launched a probe called Rosetta in March 2004. In August​ 2014, Rosetta reached its​ destination: a comet called​ 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta is the first spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet. It contained a lander​ craft, called Philae.The Philae has a launch mass on the Earth of 220​pounds-mass ​[lbm​].If the Philae was deployed to Mars instead of Comet​ 67P, what would the weight of the lander be after landing on the

Answer:

The of the lander would be 75.66 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given that the

Weight of the Philae on Earth is = 220 pound-mass

gravity of Mars is = 3.71 m/
`s^(2)`

Weight of the Philae on Mars is = ?

Now Mass is quantity of matter in an object so it is always constant for a particular object

Generally Weight = Mass × Gravity :

`(Weight Of Earth)/(Gravity Of Earth) = (Weight Of Mars)/(Gravity Of Mars)`

Hence

Weight of the Philae on Mars is =
`(Weight Of Earth *Gravity Of Mars)/(Gravity Of Earth)`

`=(200 *3.71)/(9.81)`

`= 75.66 pounds`
