    The weight on any planet is mg, where g is the appropriate acceleration due to gravity.
On earth, it is mg = 1220N, therefore
m = 1220/g
On Jupiter,
mg' = 1220/g*g'
= 1220*(25.9/9.8) N
= ? N
    
On earth, it is mg = 1220N, therefore
m = 1220/g
On Jupiter,
mg' = 1220/g*g'
= 1220*(25.9/9.8) N
= ? N
