When exploring our solar system with probes or rovers, it is important to know the weight (force due to gravity) of the probe on the surface of the other planet so that, as an engineer, you can design the mechanical parts, e.g. the drivetrain for a rover, accordingly. The weight is calculated by using Newton's second law:

F=mg/gc

where:

F is the weight, lbf

m is the mass of the probe/rover, lbm

g is the local acceleration of gravity, ft/s^2 or m/s^2

gc is a constant, 32.174 (lbm-ft)/(lbf-s^2)

Write a MATLAB code that calculates the weight (forces due to gravity) in lbf on each planet of our solar system and earth's moon for probes/rovers which have a mass between 100 lbm and 300 lbm. Use increments of 20 lbm. Generate a table showing in the first column the mass values and the weights in the remaining columns.
