Question

A body of mass 10kg is taken from Earth to moon. If the value of g on Earth is 9.8m/s2 & on Moon it is 1.6m/s2 find
1. the weight of body on Earth
2. the mass & weight on moon

Answer 1

Answer:

1. weight of body on earth=98 kg

2. weight of body on moon=16 kg

Explanation:

weight=mass *g

    on earth g=10

hence weight=10*9.8=98 kg

weight on moon=10*1.6=16 kg

Answer 2

Given:

A body of mass 10kg is taken from Earth to moon. If the value of g on Earth is 9.8m/s2 & on Moon it is 1.6m/s2

Find:

1. the weight of body on Earth

2. the mass & weight on moon

Solution:

weight = mass *g

on earth $g=10$

hence weight $=10*9.8=98$ kg

weight on moon $=10*1.6=16$ kg

1. weight of the body on earth $=98 kg$

2. weight of the body on moon $=16 kg$
