If a 0.500-kilogram pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 newtons on Jupiter, what is the strength of gravity there?

Weight is the object's mass times the force of gravity acting upon it. If a .5 kg object weighs 11.5 N on Jupiter, it's acceleration of gravity would be 11.5/.5 which is 23 meters per second squared.
