Complete question :
NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts. The supply storage area of the lunar outpost, where gravity is 1.63 m/s2, can only support 1 x 10^5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost
Answer:
601,220N
Explanation:
Given that:
Gravity at lunar outpost = 1.63m/s²
Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8m/s²
Supported weight = 1 * 10^5 N
Maximum weight of supplies as measured on earth;
(Ratio of the gravities) * weight of supplies
(9.8m/s² / 1.63m/s²) * (1 * 10^5 N)
6.0122 * (1 * 10^5)
6.0122 * 10^5 N
= 601,220 N
