What is the weight of a person of mass 60 kg in space where no gravity acts on it?

Just as you mentioned, in space there is no gravitational force acting on the man. provided that there is no external forces exerted by the surrounding planets, then his weight is constant thus turning towards zero(0).

around him, as well as the gravitational forces between him and the sun, and between
him and the moon.
The mutual gravitational force between the man and the earth, which attracts each of them
toward the other, is (60 x 9.8) = 588 newtons(132.3 pounds)

∙ 9y agoMultiply mass by earth's acceleration, which is 9.807m/s^2: 60 x 9.807 = 588.42 newtons.

When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
What is the opposite of buoyant force?
The weight of the displaced water by the object.
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts?
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts downwards.
Why is the center of gravity so important?
The centre of gravity is the point through which one's whole weight acts for any orientation of the object. Without it we will lose balance.
What is the name for an area in space where gravity is so strong that it acts like a vacuum cleaner and sucks in energy and matter?
Blackhole
What force acts on space time?
Certainly it appears that gravity does so.
Is gravity force a contact force?
No - gravity acts across the vacuum of space - this is how the moon affects our tides.
How does a space shuttle resist gravity when coming back to Earth?
Friction with the atmosphere counter acts the pull of gravity.
When gravity acts on the mas of an object it causes the object to have what?
An object with mass that is suspended in a gravitational field will have what we call weight. Weight is the term we apply to the force on that object due to gravity.
Can gravity freeze?
Gravity is a force that acts upon an object. It can not "freeze". You can however, come very close to having zero gravity. This would be obtained in space.
An object's weight in Newtons Law is equal to force of gravity that acts on that object?
Yes
Can a body have two centers of gravity?
No, there is only one centre of gravity in which one's whole weight acts for any orientation of the object.
What force cause dust to clump together?
Gravity acts upon any objects in space.
What is the opposite of buoyant force?
The weight of the displaced water by the object.
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts?
The weight of a person can be represented by a vector that acts downwards.
The pull of gravity between the Earth and the Sun acts across how many kilometers of space?
150,473,664 kilometers
What force is there on free falling body neglecting air friction?
The force of gravity is the primary acting force. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction.
