Malik and Alexander have the same mass.
Malik and Alexander have the same mass.

Alexander's mass is greater than Malik’s.

Answer 1

Weight = mass × g, so mass = weight / g.

- Malik: m_M = 100 N / 9.8 m/s² ≈ 10.2 kg
- Alexander: m_A = 100 N / 1.62 m/s² ≈ 61.7 kg

Therefore Alexander's mass is greater than Malik’s.
