Question: (a) Use data from Appendix F to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. (b) Calculate the friction force on a walking 65-kg

(a) Use data from Appendix F to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.

(b) Calculate the friction force on a walking 65-kg astronaut carrying a 43-kg instrument pack on the moon if the coefficient of kinetic friction at her hip joint is 0.0050.

(c) What would be the friction force on earth for this astronaut?
