1 Pound = 0.45359 Kilograms
190 lbs = 86.18 kg
W on jupiter = 86.18x 26.7/9.8 = 234.8 kg

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
F(weight) = mg
where g is 26.7 m/s2 on Jupiter
and 9.81m/s2 on earth
divide the weight of woman on earth by g to get mass
multiply the mass by acc.due to grav on Jupiter.

Weight=mass X Gravity accleration
190lb =86.182556 Kg
Weight = 86.182556 X 26.7 = 2301.074245 N.
