Question
When man stands on a bathroom scale here on Earth, it reads 560N . Assume each planet to be a perfect sphere with the following parameters. What would his mass be on Mars if Mars has a mass of 6.419 x 10^23 kg and a radius of 3.396 x10^6 m?
and what is the magnitude of the gravitational force Mars would exert on man if he stood on its surface?

The mans mass would be the same as on earth so its just 560/9.8=57.14kg
Second part is F=[(Gconstant)(m one)(m two)]/(radius)^2
G constant is 6.67E-11
