Answer 2

Given:

Mass of body = 10 kg

Value of g on earth = 9.8 m/$s^{2}$

To Find: Weight of body on moon

Calculation:

• Weight of any object is defined as the force of gravity exerted on the object by the ground.
• It is expressed in Newton.
• It is given as Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration.
• Weight of body on earth = 10 * 9.8 = 98 N
• Gravitational acceleration on moon = 1.625
• Weight of body on moon = 10 * 1.625 = 16.25 N

Answer:

Weight of body on moon = 10 * 1.625 = 16.25 N
