Question

A body weighs 98 N on the Earth. How much does it weigh on the moon? <br> (Take​

Answer 1

We Know,

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon = 1/6 * a.c.d of the earth

==> g' = 1/6 × g

==> g' = 9.8/6 m/s²

Also,

Weight = mass × g

Given, Weight on earth = 98 N

∴ mass = 98/9.8 ==> 10 kg

Now,

Weight on moon = 10 × 9.8/6

==> weight = 16.33 N

Hence, Weight on the moon will be 16.33 N

Answer 2

$\bf \red{answer}$

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon = 1/6 * a.c.d of the earth

==> g' = 1/6 × g

==> g' = 9.8/6 m/s²

Also,

Weight = mass × g

Given, Weight on earth = 98 N

∴ mass = 98/9.8 ==> 10 kg

Now,

Weight on moon = 10 × 9.8/6

==> weight = 16.33 N

Hence, Weight on the moon will be 16.33 N
