The moon causes an object near its surface to fall with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s². Let's say a steel ball was hung from a spring balance in the moon. The spring balance was read and it indicated that the steel ball was being pulled by the moon with a force of 2.55 N. How much does the steel ball weigh?
