It depends where he is. On the moon he would weigh about 11kg. On earth he would weigh 66kg. On the space station, he would weigh nothing.

For the system of weight measurement on earth, the mass and the weight are the same numbers, even though they refer to different things. The weight of a 66kg mass will be 66kg as indicated on a normal scale. However, that number really is 66*9.8 newton, and technically should be written kgwt, but it has become custom to leave the last two letters off, causing confusion. To put it another way, the kg markings on the scale should read newtons.

the mass is constant everywhere but the weight depends on the acceleration due to gravity(g) and since it is 9.81 on earth so the man's weight on earth=m x g = 66 x 9.81=647.46 N

Assuming acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 meters/second squared, weight is equal to force, which is equal to mass * acceleration. 66 * 9.8 = 646.8 N = 6.5 times 10 to the third power Newtons.

w=mg

w=66 x 10 (roughly)

so his weight would be 660N (Newtons)

being really exact then do 66 x 9.8 cos I think that is the more accurate gravitational field strength of the Earth. And that would give ... 646.8N

Weight is calculated by w=ma or weight is equal to mass times acceleration. on earth the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81meters per second squared. so the you would calculate his weight by multiplying 9.81 times 66 kg which is equal to 647 kg or 293 lbs(fatso!).

646.80 Newtons
weight = mass times gravity, where gravity is 9.8 m/second squared.
