Given:

The weight of the object on Jupiter is


W=2600\text{ N}

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is


g=26\text{ m/s}^2

To find:

The mass

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mass of the object be 'm'.

The weight is,


\begin{gathered} W=mg \\ m=(W)/(g) \end{gathered}

Substituting the values we get,


\begin{gathered} m=(2600)/(26) \\ =100\text{ kg} \end{gathered}

Hence, the mass is 100 kg.
