So i've seen your contributions and decided to use a different formula. @lingard your final answer isn't correct because it isn't part of the options.@belloabdulhafeezoniboki, no the question is correct, the "80kg" shouldnt be changed. The formula I used in solving mine was W=mg
W=mg
W= 80kg x 1/3
W=80/3
W=26.6667N
W=~27N.
you're welcome:)

Myschool, i think the question is supposed to carry 8kg as the mass

It should be mass of 8kg not weight. So the question is wrong!

you can use
f=ma
or w= mg
they both mean thesame

@Rasidat here u go
W=Mg
Given data that out acceleration due to gravity is 1/3=10/3
therefore W=8×10/3
=26.6 which is approximately 27N

W=mg
g of the planet is ⅓ of the earth =⅓×10 =3.33
Therefore, W=mg = 80×3.33 =266.4N
there's no answer in the option given
