Ans Please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• An object weighs 40 N when measured on the surface of the earth.

To Find :-

• What is the weight when measured on the surface of the moon.

Formula Used :-

$\clubsuit$ Weight on Moon Formula :

$\small \bigstar \: \: \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Weight\: on\: Moon =\: \dfrac{1}{6} \times Weight\: on\: Earth}}}\: \: \: \bigstar$

Solution :-

Given :

• Weight on Earth = 40 N

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\footnotesize \implies \sf\bold{\purple{Weight\: on\: Moon =\: \dfrac{1}{6} \times Weight\: on\: Earth}}$

$\small \implies \bf Weight\: on\: Moon =\: \dfrac{Weight\: on\: Earth}{6}$

$\implies \sf Weight\: on\: Moon =\: \dfrac{\cancel{40}}{\cancel{6}}$

$\implies \sf Weight\: on\: Moon =\: \dfrac{20}{3}$

$\implies \sf Weight\: on\: Moon =\: 6.67\: N\: \bigg\lgroup \sf\bold{\pink{Approx}}\bigg\rgroup$

$\implies \sf\bold{\red{Weight\: on\: Moon =\: 6.67\: N}}$

$\therefore$ The weight when measured on the surface of the moon is 6.67 N .
