Solution

The answer to this question can be found by understanding the concept of gravity and how it affects the weight of an object.

On Earth, the force of gravity is 9.8 m/s². On Jupiter, the force of gravity is 24.79 m/s², which is approximately 2.53 times the gravity on Earth.

If a person can lift a mass of 100 kg on Earth, this means they can exert a force equal to the weight of this mass, which is mass x gravity = 100 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 980 Newtons.

If we take this force to Jupiter, the mass that can be lifted there would be the force divided by the gravity on Jupiter. So, the mass would be 980 Newtons / 24.79 m/s² = 39.54 kg.

So, the person would be able to lift less mass on Jupiter due to the higher gravity. The options provided do not include this value, so there may be a mistake in the question or the answer choices.
