Homework Statement


If a man weights 900N on the Earth, what would he weigh on Jupiter,
where the free-fall acceleration is 25.9 m/2?


Homework Equations


Fg=mg
m=Fg/g

The Attempt at a Solution


Mass on Earth is m=900n/9.8m/s = 91.8kg
with the weight on Jupiter is Fg=(91.8kg)(25.9m/s2)=2.38x10 third power

Is this this easy?
Thanks,
Kevin
