Imagine you are visiting planet Mars. You want to record your weight your weight on this planet. If your weight on Earth is 450N, what would you record as your weight on mars? (Take g=10m/s2 , mass of planet Mars= 6*1023Kg and its radius is 4300 KM.

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars,
gm=GMmRm2=6.67×10-11×6×1023(4.3×106)2=2.16 m/s2Weight on earth, We=mg   ...(1)Weight on Mars,Wm=mgm   ...(2)(1)÷(2),WeWm=mgmgm450Wm=102.16Wm=450×2.1610=97.2 N
