Question

5. What is the weight of a person of mass 60kg at (i) the equator (g=9.8m/s2

(ii)the poles(g=10m/s2

(iii) on moon (g=1.6m/s2

Answer 1

force=weight

weight= mass* acceleration due to gravity

(i) w= 60* 9.8
    w= 588 kg

(ii) w= 60*10
     w= 600 kg

(iii) w=60*1.6
     w=96 kg

Don't forget to say thanks! :-D

Answer 2

weight at the equator= mass* g
                                  =60*9.8=  588N
weight at the poles = mass* g
                                =60 * 10= 600N
weight on the moons =mass* g
                                  = 60 * 1.6=  96N
