Answer:

P = 113.4 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if it is on the Moon it has another gravity. Therefore, it is known through the International System that the gravity of the Moon is 1.62 m/s², so..

Data:

  • m = 70 kg
  • g = 1.62 m/s²
  • P = ?

Use formula:


  • \boxed{\bold{P=m*g}}

Replace and solve:


  • \boxed{\bold{P=70\ kg*1.62(m)/(s^(2))}}

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{P=113.4\ N}}}

The man's weight is 113.4 Newtons.

Greetings.
