Math Problem Statement
You are part of a team that is designing a space probe that will land on the surface of a distant planet. The surface of the new planet can support a maximum force of 155 N. If the gravitational acceleration on the new planet is 11.6
, what is the maximum allowable weight of the probe when it is finished being constructed on earth? (Answer tolerance: ± 1 N)
