a 205 kg mass object will weight 1143.43 lbs on Jupiter. Looking up the surface gravity of Jupiter, you can find that it's 2.53 times that of earth. So the 205 kg object will weigh 205 * 2.53 = 518.65 kg on Jupiter. Now we need to convert from kg to pounds. This is done by multiplying by 2.20462 518.65 kg * 2.20462 lb/kg = 1143.43 lb
