Shale shaker design -g factor
The g factor refers to a ratio of an acceleration to Earth’s gravitational acceleration. Jupiter has a mass of 418.6*10^25 lb and Earth has a mass of 1.317*10^25 lb. A person on Earth who weighs 200lb would weigh 320 times as much on Jupiter, or 64,000 lb. A person’s mass remains the same on Earth or Jupiter, but weight is a force and depends on the acceleration of gravity. The gravitational acceleration on Jupiter is 320 times the gravitational acceleration on Earth. The g factor would be 320. (As a point of interest, Mars has a mass of 0.1415*10^25 lb, so the g factor would be 0.107; a 200-lb person would weigh only 21.4 lb on Mars.)
