Question

a man weight 600 N on earth with g=10m/s^2. If he weights 100 N on moon . Find (a) mass of man on moon (60 N) (b) gravity on moon (1.66m/s^2)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

mass of man = 600/10 = 60 kg

since the mass of any object remains constant throughout the universe, it is weight which changes as per planets.

so acceleration of gravity on moon

= weight of man on moon/mass

= 100/60 = 10/6 m/s^2
