Question

A Boy Weight 360 N On The Earth . What Would Be His Approximately Wieght On The Moon. What Is The Reason Of The Answer

Answer 1

Answer:

mass of the boy =360÷9.8=36.73 kg

In moon the boy will be weight less as compare to the earth by 1/6 because gravitational acceleration in moon is 1/6.

In moon weight will be 360÷6= 60 N

Answer 2

Answer:-

W_m = 60 kg

Given :-

$W_e = 360 N$

To find :-

The weight on the moon.

Solution :-

As we know the gravity in earth is six times of the gravity on moon.

This is the reasons for a body of certain weight become less when measured in moon.

As , W = m.g

$\boxed{\sf{W_m = \dfrac{1}{6}W_e}}$

Where W_m is weight on moon

Where W_m is weight on moon and W_e is weight on earth.

Now put the given value,

→$W_m= \dfrac{1}{6}W_e$

→$W_m = \dfrac{1}{6} \times 360$

→$W_m = 60 N$

hence, the weight of boy in moon will be 60 N.
