Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is $10\, m\, s^{-2}$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0\, m\, s^{-2}$. A $60\, kg$ pasenger goes from the Earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?
