mg = 2.3
(a) g2=(1/6)g
m*(1/6)g = 2.3 * (1/6) = 0.3833333333 N
(b) g3 = 2.64g
m*(2.64g) = 2.3 * 2.64 = 6.072N

I'm nowhere near being a mathematician, but wouldn't you just divide by six to find the weight on the moon and multiply by 2.64 to find the weight on Jupiter?

weight is defined as mass X acc due to gravity Acoording to law of conservation of mass mass can neighter be destroyed nor created so the mass of body is same on earth as well as on neptune at earth acc due to gravity is 10m/s2 (actually 9.81) mass of bread is 5.3 / 10 = .53 kg now weight on mars .53 X (.379) X 10 on neptune .53 X (1.14) X 10
