Answer
acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²
weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N
acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²
a) Mass on the earth surface
M = 4.08 Kg
b) Mass on the surface of Lo
Mass of an object remain same.
Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.
c) Weight at the surface of Lo
W' = m g'
W' =4.08 x 1.81
W' = 7.38 N
There are two external force acts on the chair.
1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.
2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).
On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as
F=mg
here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.
To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
