Solution

The correct option is A 8.8
Given: Mass of the spacecraft $m = 1180 k g$
Supposed weight of the spacecraft on Venus $W_{v} = 10, 467 N$

Weight of an object = Mass of the object $\times$ Acceleration due to gravity, on any planet.

$⟹$ Acceleration due to gravity on Venus, $g_{v} = \frac{W_{v}}{m} = \frac{10467}{1180} = 8.87 m s^{- 2}$
$g_{v} \approx 8.8 m s^{- 2}$
