š Mathematical Formula & Step-by-Step Substitution
- Identify local surface gravitational acceleration on Pluto: g = 0.62 m/sĀ² (Earth g = 9.807 m/sĀ²).
- Compute gravitational force in Newtons: F = m Ć g = 120 kg Ć 0.62 m/sĀ² = 74.4 N.
- Compute apparent weight in kg-force relative to Earth scales: 120 Ć (0.62 / 9.807) = 7.56 kg.
- Compare to escape velocity on Pluto: v_esc = 1.21 km/s.
