1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by 
, where m is the mass of the object and 
is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different:
. The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: 
3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
