Question:

Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thrust) of 3260 N, the craft descends at constant speed; if the engine provides only 2200N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.39 m/s2.

(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 magnitude of the free-fall acceleration near the surface of Callisto?
