Answer:

Mass of the rock on Earth, m = 5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock, m = 5 kg

We need to find its mass of the rock on earth. The relationship between the mass of an object and its weight is given by :

W = m × g

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity,
g=9.8\ m/s^2

m is the mass which remains constant at every location.

So, the mass of the rock on earth is 5 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
