<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the weight of a person, we use the formula:
....(1)
where,
w = weight of an object
m = mass of the person = 65kg
g = acceleration due to the gravity of the planet
For the calculation of weight, we need to first find the acceleration due to gravity and for that we use the formula:
where, g = acceleration due to gravity =
G = Universal gravitational constant =
M = mass of the planet =
r = distance of the person from the planet =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Putting this value in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
