Question

A body has a mass of 6 kg on the earth when measured on the moon its weight would be

Answer 1

when mesured on the moon the weight would be 1
because if one thing is 6 kg in mass on the moon that thing's wright is =one thing's weight in earth /6 = 6/6 = 1

Answer 2

The weight of a body is defined as the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the body is 6 kg.

We are asked to calculate the weight of the body on the surface of moon.

Here, mass is constant. So the mass of the body on moon will be the same i.e 6 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon [g] is  $1.625\ m/s^2$

Hence, the weight of the body on moon,  W = mg

                                                                          $=6kg*1.625\ m/s^2$

                                                                          = 9.75 N.

Here, N [newton] stands for the unit of force in S.I
