Question

A body weigh 10 kg on Earth where g is 9.8m/s square. What would be it's mass and weight on moon?
Where g=1.6 m/s square

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of body on moon would be 1.66 kg

Answer 2

Given:

Weight of the body on Earth= 10 N

Value of acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

Value of acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s²

To find:

The mass of the body and its weight on moon.

Solution:

We know that weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

On substituting the values in the given formula, we get:

10 = mass × 9.8

mass = 10/9.8 = 1.02 kg

Now, the weight of the body on moon will be:

weight = mass× acceleration due to gravity

On substituting the values in the given formula, we get:

weight = 1.02 × 1.6

= 1.63 N

Thus the mass of the body will be 1.02 kg and its weight on moon will be 1.63 N.
