be its weight when measured on the surface of the moon?
(a) 3N
(b) 2N
(c) 4N
(d) 5N

Answer 1

2N

this is your answer

12/6

2N

Answer 2

Given - Weight on earth - 12 N

Find - Weight on moon.

Solution - Mass of body on surface of earth = W/g

Mass of body on surface of earth = 12/10

Mass of body on surface of earth = 1.2 kg

Weight of body on moon = m*g

Weight of body on moon = 1.2*1.6

Weight of body on moon = 1.9 N

Hence, Weight of body on surface of moon = b) 2N.
