Best Answer

The unit "kilogram" is a measure of mass, not weight, so the mass would still be 10 kg on Mercury.

However, a scale on Mercury's surface would show that the 10-kilogram item weighed only 3.8 kilograms, about 38% of its Earth weight.

10 kilograms refers to the chair's mass, and mass ever changes. Therefore, even with the decreased gravitational of Mercury, the chair would still weigh 10 kilograms.
