Answer

Option A is correct

Weight = 32.2 N

Explanation

Given that,

acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mercury = 3.71 m/s².

Mass of  object = 8.69 kg

To find,

weight of object on Mercury

Formula to calculate weight

W = mass (kg) x acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

W = 8.69 x  3.71

W = 32.24 N

W ≈ 32.2 N

So, the weight of object of mass 8.69kg on Mercury = 32.2 N

Answer:

The correct choice is 32.2 N

Explanation:

According to the definition of weight

W = m * g

Where W is the weeight, m i the mass and g is value of gravity

So putting the values

W = 8.69 kg * 3.71 m/s²

W = 32.2 N
