Question

 Please solve for items c and d

In the future, we may encounter a civilization from another planet. They will not use the 
SI or AE systems of units. Suppose we meet aliens who use the Zerf as a unit of mass and 
the Spund as a unit of force. One Spund is the weight of a mass of one Zerf on the surface 
of Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
a. What is gc in the alien system of units? Be sure to include the numerical value and the 
units.
b. How much would a 350 Zerf object weigh on the surface of Mars, in Spunds?
c. How much would a 350 Zerf object weigh on the surface of the Earth, in Spunds?
d. To which system of units is the Zerf-Spund system most similar, SI or AE?
