    The mass of the ball is 24kg both on the Earth and on that planet.

    The weight on Earth is 240N and on that planet is 288N.

    Explanation:

    The mass of a body is the same everywhere but the weight of a body varies from place to place.

    To calculate the weight on Earth:

    g on earth=10m/s2

    Weight = mass * g

    W=24*10

    =240N

    To calculate the weight on the planet:

    g on the planet=12.0m/s2

    W=24*12

    =288N
