Question

An object of mass 12 kg on the surface of a planet whose acceleration due to gravity is half than that of the Earth. Find it's weight.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• $58.8 \ N$

Explanation:

$Given:-$

• Mass = 12 kg

• $g_{planet}\:=\:\dfrac{1}{2}\:g_{earth}$

$ToFind:-$

• Weight of the object

$Solution :-$

$\boxed{Weight\:of\:an\:object\:=\:M\:\times\:g}$

$\implies \:\:Weight\:=\:12\:\times\:\dfrac{1}{2}\:\times\:9.8$

$\implies \:\:Weight\:=\:\cancel{12}\:\times\:\dfrac{98}{\cancel{2}}\:\times\:10$

$\implies \:\:Weight = \dfrac{6\:\times\:98}{10}$

$\implies \:\:Weight =\dfrac{588}{10}$

$\implies \:\:Weight =58.8\:N$

Weight of the object is 58.8N
