the up mIbi, thla 2. 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/s?. 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, Sl or AE?
