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
