The value of ‘g' on different planets are given l. Determine the weight of a body of mass 100 kg on these planets Earth 9.8 m/s2 Mercury 3.7 m/s2 Venus 8.9m/s2 Mars 3.7 m/s2 Jupiter 23.1m/s2 Saturn 9.00 m/s2
Solution:
Weight =mass* acceleration of gravity.
The weight of the body in earth=100*9.8=980N.
The weight of the body in Mercury =100*3.7=370N.
The weight of the body in Venus=100*8.9=890N.
The weight of the body in Mars=100*3.7=370N.
The weight of the body in Jupiter =100*23.1=2310N.
The weight of the body in Saturn =100*9=900N
