    132.22 N

    Explanation:

    Weight at the surface of a planet is:

    W = GMm / r²

    where G is the gravitational constant,

    M is the mass of the planet,

    m is the mass of the object,

    and r is the radius of the planet.

    On Earth:

    680 N = GMm / r²

    If Earth's mass and radius were changed:

    W = G (7M) m / (6r) ²

    W = 7/36 GMm / r²

    W = 7/36 (680 N)

    W = 132.22 N
