Answer:

5.4 meters per square second

Explanation:

If that rover was on the Earth the weight of it would be 620 N (62*10)

In the new planet the gravitational acceleration is not same as the earth it's definitely less than that of the earth

Let's take the gravity constant of the plant as x.

so, 62*x= 334.8 N

x= 334.8/62

x= 5.4
