Question

A mass of an object is 20kg find its weight on earth.what will be it’s weight when measured on the surface of the moom

Answer 1

heya,
here is your answer

As we know a body's weight is the product of its mass and acceleration acting on it i.e
W = ma

given, m = 20kg
here acceleration (a) would be g = 10m/s²
{because on Earth a body experiences acceleration and due to gravity (g)}

so, weight of the body on Earth is
W = 20×10 =200kg

as we know,
weight on moon = 1/6 weight on earth

so weight on moon= 200/6= 33.33kg

hope this helps

thank u
any doubt ask me

Answer 2

W=mg
where g=9.8
and m=20kg

so putting all these in formula
w=m*g
=20*9.8
=196 kg

and it's weight on moon will be 1/6th of the weight of the body in earth surface.

196*1/6=32.16kg

hope this will help you
