If you weigh 1176 N on Earth where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 , what is your weight on Uranus where the acceleration due to gravity is 8.69 m/s^2?

Answer 1

If you weigh 1176 N on Earth where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 , what is your weight on Uranus where the acceleration due to gravity is 8.69 m/s^2?

Uranus has slightly lower gravity than here on earth. Therefore, you will weigh proportionately less.

WT(U) = 1176 * 8.69 / 9.8 = 1042.8 N
