Mona weighs 423N on the earth and 1000N on the planet Jupiter. What is the gravitational acceleration on the Jupiter? (The value of g on the earth is `10ms^(-2))`.

Answer

`23.64ms^(-2)`

Explanation

On earth.s surface,
`W_e=mg_(c) rArr 423 =m xx 10`
`m=(423)/(10) …..(1)`
On Jupiter.s surface,
`W_(J)=mg_(J)) rArr 1000=m xx g_(J)`
`m=(1000)/g_J ……(2)`
Now the mass of an object remains constant everywhere in the universe. So from equation (1) and (2) `(423)/(10)=(1000)/(g_J)`
`g_J=23.64ms^(-2)`
