This question deals with the concept of gravitational force.

The weight of the rocket on Venus will be "3.56 x 10⁵ N".

The weight of an object is given by the following formula:

[tex]W=mg[/tex] -------- en (1)

where,

W = Weight of the object

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the location of the object

The data for the rocket on Earth is as follows:

m = 400 Mg = 400 x 1000 kg = 4 x 10⁵ kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore, using values:

[tex]W = (4\ x\ 10^5\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\\\W = 3.924\ x\ 10^5\ N[/tex]

Now, we consider the object on Venus:

W' = mg' = m(0.907g)

W' = 0.907 mg

using eqn (1):

W' = 0.907(W)

W' = 0.907(3.924 x 10⁵ N)

W' = 3.56 x 10⁵ N

The attached picture illustrates the weight of an object.
