There is an error in the information provided. The
acceleration due to gravity cannot be negative as the force of gravity between two
bodies is an attractive force. I assume you meant the acceleration due to gravity is
2.15 m/ s^2.
A body's weight on a planet is the force with
which it is attracted towards the surface of the planet. This is given as m*g, where m
is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to
gravity.
The mass of the Jupiter Rover is 300 kg and the
acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is 2.15
m/s^2
This gives the weight of the Jupiter Rover on the
planet as 300*2.15 = 645 N
