To calculate the weight of an object on Mars, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration due to gravity} \]
In this case, the mass of the object is 16 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s².
So,
\[ \text{Weight} = 16 \, \text{kg} \times 3.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ \text{Weight} = 60.8 \, \text{N} \]
Thus, an object with a mass of 16 kg would weigh 60.8 Newtons on Mars.
\[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration due to gravity} \]
In this case, the mass of the object is 16 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s².
So,
\[ \text{Weight} = 16 \, \text{kg} \times 3.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ \text{Weight} = 60.8 \, \text{N} \]
Thus, an object with a mass of 16 kg would weigh 60.8 Newtons on Mars.
