Question

An object weighs 588N on the earth .what would be its mass on the moon ?what is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon?
(take g = 10 m/s^2)

Answer 1

its weight on moon will be 1/6 × 588

= 98

then mass will be w = m×g

98 = m×10

m = 9.8

acceleration due to gravity will remain same on earth

Answer 2

The mass of the object is 58.8 kg

Acceleration due to gravity at moon is $1.67\ m/s^2$.

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the surface of Earth is 588 N. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 10 m/s².

Weight is given by :

W = mg

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{588}{10}\\\\m=58.8\ kg$

The mass of the object is 58.8 kg. The mass of an object is same at every location. It does not changes at every point.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Moon is (1/6)th of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth.

g at moon is $1.67\ m/s^2$.
