The weight of 100 kg mass on Saturn is 10,192 N.

The weight of 7.0 kg mass on Pluto is 2.01 N.

The given parameters;

  • acceleration due to gravity, = 10.4g
  • mass of the Saturn, m = 100 kg
  • acceleration due to gravity on mercury, = 3.59 m/s²

The weight of 100 kg mass on Saturn is calculated as follows;

W = mg

W = 100 x 10.4 x 9.8

W = 10,192 N

The weight of 7.0 kg mass on Pluto is calculated as follows;

W = 7 x 0.08 x 3.59

W = 2.01 N
