Question

an object weighing 5 kg on earth will weigh 2 kg on mercury. The statue of liberty weigh 10225 kg on .What would be its weight on mercury ​

Answer 1

Answer:

4090 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take out the ratio of weight on Earth and Mercury.

Weight on Mercury ÷ Weight on Earth = 2/5 => 2:5

Now, weight of Statue of Liberty (SoL) = 10225 kg

So,

Weight of SoL on Mercury ÷ Weight of SoL on Earth = 2/5    (From above)

=> Weight of SoL on Mercury ÷ 10225 = 2/5

∴ Weight of SoL on Mercury = (2/5)*10225

=> 2*2045 => 4090 kg

Thus, Statue of Liberty will weigh 4090 kg on Mercury if it weighs 10225 kg on Earth.
