  • Mass (m) = 20 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the earth (g) = 10 m/s^2
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the planet (g1) = 10 × 3 m/s^2 = 30 m/s^2
  • We know, weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
  • Therefore, the weight of the body on the surface of the planet
  • = (20 × 30) N
  • = 600 N

Answer:

600 N

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
