Why can a strong man not hold a weight on a chain completely straight?

What is your weight on Jupiter if the acceleration is 26m/s^2? ( there is No weight )

The strong man cant hold a weight on a chain completely straight due to the gravity and the mass of the chain/chair,

Acceleration due to gravity at surface radius = approx 23 (m/s)/s
