Question

A man weighs 600N on the surface of the earth. What would be his mass on the earth if he were taken to the moon his weight would be 100 N what is his mass on the moon

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight is said to be the force exerted by the body on the surface by gravity.

Mass is said to be the amount of matter on a substance.

⇒ Mass = Weight ÷ Acceleration due to gravity (gravity)

So, Given :

• Weight of a man on earth = 600 N
• Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Hence, Mass = 600/9.8 = 61.22 kg.

Similarly, We are Given :

• Weight of a man on moon = 100 N
• Acceleration dur to gravity on moon = 1.622 m/s²

Hence, Mass = 100/1.622 = 61.62 kg.

Note : The gravity on moon is ⅙th of the gravity on earth.
