What is the G Force on an Astronaut in a Rocket Accelerating at 26.95m/s/s?

[DumbFounDed]

G Force! (Not the movie :D)

Homework Statement

A rocket is accelerating from between Mars and Jupiter at 26.95m/s/s. calculate the g force on a 60kg astronaut.

Homework Equations

T=ma+mg

The Attempt at a Solution

T = 60x26.95=1617
= 1617/600
= approx 2.7g

i would think that g in this equation would be 0 or would i have to find the difference between the two planets' gravity?

Since the problem does not state where the rocket is located, I would forget about gravitational effects. Why not merely divide 26.95 by 9.81?
