Question

An object weighs 2600 N on Jupiter (g = 26). What is its mass on Jupiter?

Answer 1

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.
