If a man weighs 900 N on the earth, what would he weigh on jupiter, where acceleration due to gravity is 25.9 m/s^2?
remember weight is a force
Force=Mass*acceleration
on earth, acceleration=9.81 m/s^2
900 N=Mass*9.81 m/s^2
Mass=91.74 Kg
F=Mass*acceleration(Jupiter)
F=91.74Kg*25.9m/s
F=2376.066 N on Jupiter
900 (25.9/9.81)
weight on earth W=mg
900=m*9.8
m=91.8
weight on jupiter W=mg
W=91.8*25.9=2377.62N
Very nice
F=ma. Drive for m. So m=F/a. Then 900N/9.81=98.1 now we got the value of m
Then F=mg this means 98.1*25.9=2378.6N
