My desk has a mass of 186186 kg the Earth\'s surface. What is its weight in Newton and its mass in kg on the space-station where the acceleration of gravity is 3.63.6 msec2msec2.

Solution

Mass of a body is independent of acceleration due to gravity and is constant. So mass of body will be same, 186186 kg.

Weight of a body depends on acceleration due to gravity (g) and mass. Relation which it follows is,

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 186186 x 3.63

Weight = 675855.18 Newton
