At the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io the acceleration due to gravity is g=1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon weighs 44.0 N at the surface of the earth. a) What is the mass on the earth’s surface? b) What are its mass and weight on the surface of Io? 

Answer 1

$m=\frac{F}{g}=4.49~kg,$

$m_1=m=4.49~kg,$

$F_1=mg_1=8.12~N.$
