An astronauts boots weigh 100N on earth where the acceleration of free fall is 10m/s2. How much will they weigh on Mars where the acceleration of free fall is 4m/s2?

I am wondering if your teacher teaches in whole numbers. Nowhere on Earth is g=10m/s^2, nor on Mars a=4 m/s^2. Life is more complicated than whole numbers. Is PI=3?

100=mass*g
mass=10kg

weight= mass*a=10*4=40N
