Question

Si la aceleración de gravedad en la superficie del planeta Mercurio es de 3,7 m/s2, entonces ¿cuál sería el peso de una persona de 60 kg de masa que se encuentre sobre su superficie?

Answer 1

W = 222 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The qiestion says" If the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the planet Mercury is 3.7 m / s2, then what would be the weight of a person with mass 60 kg on its surface? "

Mass of the person, m = 60 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of gravity is 3.7 m/s²

We need to find the weight of a person on the surface of Mercury.

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

So,

W = 60 kg × 3.7 m/s²

W = 222 N

Hence, the person will weigh 2222 N on the surface of Moon.
