Explanation / Answer

5 lb = 2.268 Kg

Thus Weight on moon = (2.268)*(9.8/6) = 3.7 N

Weight on Jupiter = (2.268)*(9.8*2.64) = 58.68 N

 

 

Mass of bag on Earth = 2.268 Kg

Mass of bag on Jupiter = 2.268 Kg

Mass of bag on Moon = 2.268 Kg

 

 

Because Mass remains contant and not depend on location
