I got this as a review problem and I'm not sure how to approach it. Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thrust) of 3210 N, the craft descends at constant speed; if the engine provides only 2140 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.32 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?
