If you traveled through space and landed on an unknown planet where gravity is 15 times as strong as the gravity on Earth, how much would you weigh on this new planet if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth?

Weight on Earth = mg = 100 pounds

g = 100/m

It is given that, g' = 15g

So, Weight on new planet = mg' = m(15g) = 15 * weight on Earth
= 15 * 100 = 1500 pounds

In short, Your Answer would be: 1500 Pounds

Hope this helps!
