    Explanation:

    weight = 140 lbs

    Let the mass is m.

    1 lbs = 4.45 N

    The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

    Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

    W = m x g

    On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

    Now convert lbs in newton

    So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

    So, m x 9.8 = 623

    m = 63.57 kg

    Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.
