Question

A man weighs 600 N on the earth .what is his mass ? ( take g = 10 m-2. if he were taken to the moon , his weight would be 100N. what is his mass on the moon ? what is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s

2

on earth

Mass on earth =

10

600

=60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg

′

m= mass =60 kg

g

′

= acc. due to gravity on moon =

6

1

th

the value on earth

So, Weight on moon =

6

1

th

of the weight on earth

⇒ Weight on the moon =600×

6

1

=100 N

hope it helpful to you...........

Answer 2

Answer is 100 N

The value of g on a moon 1th/6 the value of g on earth .
