38% of earth's gravity
The gravity of Mercury is 3.7 m/s² or 0.38 g
For comparison, the gravity of Earth is 9.780327 m/s² or 0.99732 g
This means that if you weighed 100lb on Earth, you would weigh 37.8lb on Mercury

That is not possible to determine.
Any two bodies with mass (we call it 'weight' on Earth) attract each other.
For example, your gravity attracts the Earth. The Earth attracts you. (You think it is just the Earth because there is so much force of gravity in it.)
So. Unless you specify the size of the mass that Mercury is attracting and beeing attracted by, you cannot work out Newtons.
The gravitational force on mercury is only 38% of what it is here on Earth.
You would weigh only 37.8% of what you weigh on Earth, on Mercury.
The gravitational acceleration on Mercury is 3.7 m/s2 which is only 0.38 what it is on Earth.
3.8 meters per second squared. For comparison, near Earth's surface, the gravity is about 9.8 meters per second squared.

There is alot less gravity then on earth.
The gravitational field is NOT measured in newtons - the newton is a unit of force. Valid units are newtons / kilogram, or the equivalent meters / second2. At its surface, Mercury's gravitational field is 3.7 meters/second2, which is the same as 3.7 newtons/kilogram.
newtons are how high the gravity of a planet is which relates to measurement of of an object's weight not distance
Gravity is a force and its effect on a mass is measured in newtons.
9.8 newtons, down
9.8 newtons, down
yes there were observations of the planet mercury but were hard to explain by Issac newtons theory of gravity as scienctists didn't have enough information to investigate more on the subject.

That's a very low weight; approximately the weight of a small baby. Anyway, gravity on Earth is 9.8 newton/kilogram, gravity on Mercury is 3.7 newton/kilogram. You can write a proportion for that; or else you can first work out the mass, then use this to calculate the weight on Mercury.
The force of gravity, or more precisely the gravitational field, is not measured in newtons - and it isn't really a force, because the amount of force depends on the mass. Wikipedia lists Venus' gravitational field as 8.87 m/s2; this is equivalent to 8.87 newton/kg.
There is much less gravity on Mercury.

Newtons.
Mercury has a force of gravity of 3.7m/s2.
If compared to earth, mercury has little gravity pull as its mass is much less than earth's mass.
1 kilogram is equivalent it 1o Newtons (force stemming from gravity).
Also if you mean Newtons in terms of weight the formula is Newtons = Mass * Gravity
