A landing craft approaches the surface of Callisto, one off the satellites (moons) of the plant Jupiter (Fig. 3-31). If an upward thrust of 3260 N is supplied by the rocket engine, the craft descends with constant speed. Callisto has no atmosphere. If the upward thrust is 2200 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.390 m/s. (a) What is the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto’s surface? (b) What is the mass of the craft? (c) What is the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Callisto?
