What would a 100-pound person weigh on Jupiter?

Answer 1

To find out one's weight on Jupiter, you have to multiply one's weight on Earth (unit doesn't matter) by 2.38. In this case, a person weighing 100 pounds on the Earth would weigh 238 pounds on Jupiter.

Edit: To be pedantic, it's "238 pounds weight". "100 pounds" is your mass which has a weight of "100 pounds weight" on Earth.

Also, the exact value for the surface gravity of Jupiter varies, depending on

the source of the data.

The best units for weight are Newtons (the unit of force) because weight is a force. However I think "pounds weight" is usually good enough. I know that

even NASA often just say "pounds" when they mean weight, in their stuff for

the general public.

Answer 2

-- The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.807 m/s2 .

-- The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is 25.885 m/s2 .

-- The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter, and therefor the weight of

an object taken there from Earth, is 2.639 times what it is on Earth.

-- So in order to duplicate an Earth weight, you'd want to reduce the mass

of the object when it reaches Jupiter, by the same factor of 2.639.

-- When your weight-lifter reaches Jupiter ... if he can overcome the discomforts of

daytime temperatures in the dry-ice range, constant winds at several hundreds of

mph, and poisonous atmosphere, all with no effect on his performance ... then he

expects to be able to press a mass of

100 / 2.639 = 37.893 kg.

It'll be exactly the same 980 newtons (220.5 pounds) of weight that he's familiar with.

Also, you'll want to remind him that the same effects apply to his own body,

and he may want to slim himself down before he heads over that way for the

big event. If he weighs 200 pounds on Earth and keeps the same personal bulk,

then the minute he steps out of the bus on Jupiter, he weighs 528 pounds !

That's another thing that could impact his performance, d'ya reckon ?

Answer 3

236.4 pounds (multiply weight on Earth by 2.364)

Answer 4

If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 235 pounds on Jupiter. This is because Jupiter's gravity is stronger than the gravity on Earth.

Answer 5

hmmm let me see

I DONT KNOW concebtrate in your classes at school and you will probably learn somthing

Answer 6

That can't be answered because the weight lifter could not stand on the part that we can see, which is the top of a very thick cloud layer.

Answer 7

A 100-pound person on Earth would weigh approximately 236 pounds on Jupiter due to Jupiter's stronger gravitational pull.

Answer 8

he or she would weigh 265 pounds

Answer 9

100 pounds
