On the surface of jupiter the acceleration due to gravity is about 3 times that on earth. how much would a 100kg rock weigh on jupiter?

Weight on Jupiter will be equal to 2940 N

Explanation:

We have given given acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 3 times of acceleration due to gravity on earth

Acceleration due to gravity on earth

So acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter =

Mass is given m = 100 kg

We have to find the weight

Weight is equal to W = mg, here m is mass and a is acceleration

So weight

2940 N

Explanation:

Given at Jupiter acceleration due to gravity() is equal to 3 times of acceleration due to gravity on the Earth().

That is,

We know,

So,  

Now the gravitational force on Jupiter (weight on Jupiter) is given as

Here m = 100 kg is the mass and it remain same on both earth and Jupiter.

Substitute the given values, we get

W = 2940 N.

Thus, the weight of 100 kg rock on the Jupiter is 2940 N.
