Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A $0.10\,\text{kg}$ mass is transported to Mars and then measured using a spring balance and a lever balance. The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is $38\%$ of the value on Earth. What readings would the two balances show on Mars? (Assume that on Earth $g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}$.)
