Answer:
Mass = 600g
Weight = 11,772g (or) 11.772Kg
Explanation:
Wherever planet we go the mass of the object (or) body will be same because mass is constant.
But the weight changes according to gravity.
The formula for calculating weight is
Weight = mass × gravity [W = mg]
In the above problem it is given that
mass = 600g
gravity = 2 times of earth
(We know that gravity of earth is 9.81m/s^2)
So, gravity = 2 × 9.81
= 19.62m/s^2
Now,
Weight = mass × gravity
= 600 × 19.62
= 11,772g (or) 11.772Kg
