QUESTION:

ENGINEERING APPLICATION To train astronauts to work on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is only about 1/6 of that on Earth, NASA submerges them in a tank of water. If an astronaut who is carrying a backpack, air conditioning unit, oxygen supply, and other equipment, has a total mass of 250 kg, determine the following quantities. (a) her weight including backpack, etc. on Earth, (b) her weight on the moon, (c) the required upward buoyancy force of the water during her training for the moons environment on Earth
