Weight refers to the force of gravity acting on a mass. We often calculate the weight of an object by multiplying its mass by the local acceleration due to gravity. The value of gravitational acceleration on the surface of Mars is 0.38 times that on Earth. Assume your mass is 81.00 kg. Then your weight on Earth is 793.80 newtons (793.80 N = m × g = 81.00 kg × 9.8 m/s2). What would be your mass on Mars? kg What would be your weight on Mars? N
