Question

a body of mass 40kg weighs 65.2 n on the surface of the moon

Answer 1

Given Mass of Body = 40 kg

Weight on the surface of moon = 65.2 N

Weight on the surface of planet is attraction force of planet due to gravitation

This force is given by formula

F = m g

here we know that

F = weight = 65.2 N

m = mass = 40 kg

Now we can use this to find gravity on moon

[tex]g = \frac{F}{m}[tex]

[tex]g = \frac{65.2}{40}[tex]

[tex]g =1.63 \frac{m}{s^2}[tex]
