W = mg (Weight of the man earth)<br600 = m * 10 = 60 kg<brThe mass of the man is 60 kg which will remain the same everywhere. Acceleration due to gravity on Mars,
g_m = GMm/R^2m
M_m = 6 * 10^23 kg ; R_m = 4.3 * 10^6 m
g_m = (6.67 ∗ 10^−11 ∗ 6 ∗ 10^23)/(4.3 ∗ 10^6)^2 = 2.17 m/sec^2
Weight of the man on Mars
W_m = m * g_m = 60 * 2.17 = 130.2 N
