Answer:
gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
Explanation:
The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:
[tex]W = mg[/tex]
where,
W = Weight of the object on surface of earth
m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth
Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:
[tex]W_{x} = mg_{x}[/tex]
where,
Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N
m = mass of object = 1.5 kg
gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?
Therefore,
[tex]34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}[/tex]
[tex]g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}[/tex]
gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
