Gunter the weightlifter can lift a 198 kg barbell overhead on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on the sun is 274 m/s2.
How much (in newtons) would the barbells weigh on the sun (if it were possible to stand on the sun without melting)?
Using the formula w=mg (weight=mass times acceleration of gravity)

w=mg

m = 198kg
g = 274m/s^2

Find W.
