If a man 1.68 meters tall in height weights 60kg, what woould be the weight of his son 1.25 tall of the same proportion?

(1.25 x 60)/1.68 = 45 kg
Note: this is mass not weight. We would have to multiply 45 by 9.81 (acceleration due to earths gravity)
45 x 9.81 = 441.45 N (Newtons)

JurassicPlank1 may be trying to do your homework for you, but please be careful. For example, JurassicPlank1s solution to this problem

is incorrect.
I suggest you do your own homework instead of copying somebody elses mistakes.
