Suppose an astronaut has landed on Mars. fully equipped the astronaut has a mass of 125 kg
and when the astronaut gets on a scale the reading is 49 N what is the acceleration due to gravity of Mars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Gravity acceleration    is equal to weight divided by the mass


     = .


Here the index  "m"  in    stands for Mars, to distinct it from the Earth gravity acceleration g = 9.81 m/s^2 = 10 m/s^2 (rounded).


Substitute the given data into the formula to get


     =  = 0.392 m/s^.



Now I look into Wikipedia, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Mars ), and it gives me   = 3.7 m/s^2.



It means that your input data is INCORRECT.

You have all necessary explanations from me.
