Answer:
Weight on moon = 97.2 N
Weight - 60 Kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to note:
1) Mass of an object remains constant anywhere.
2) Weight of an object varies depending on the gravitational acceleration of the surface.
Important constants are as follows:
Gravitational constant on moon = 1.62 m/s²
Gravitational constant on earth = 10 m/s²
Force = Mass × acceleration
Now :
600 = 10 × m
m = 600/10 = 60 kg
The weight of the man on moon is givn as :
Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration on moon.
Weight on moon = 1.62 × 60 = 97.2
= 97.2 N
