Question

A spring balance is used to find the weight of a body x on the surface of the moon. The mass of the body x is 2 kg and its weight is recorded as 3.4N . The weight of another bodyY recorded by the same balance is found to be 7.65N.Calculate the mass of the body Y

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 2Kg and W = 3.4 N

so g = W/m = 3.4/2 = 1.7 m/s2

and for Y,

W = 7.65 N and m = ?

m = W/g = 7.65/1.7 = 4.5 Kg

so 4.5 Kg is the correct answer.
