Question

An object weight is 46 Newton when measured surface on the earth what would be its weight on the surface of the Moon ?

given that [gm=1/6 ×ge]​

Answer 1

answer is 7.66N

Explanation:

since weight is a force

weight is defined as the mass times the acceleration due to gravity

as force is mass time acceleration

weight = mg here g is the acceleration which acts in downward direction

w=mg

mass of the body is a constant

so w is directly proportional to g

we/wm =ge/gm

46/wm = ge/1/6ge

46/wm = 6ge/ge

46/wm = 6

wm = 46/6 = 7.66

Answer 2

Answer:7.66N

Explanation:

Weight=mg

Weight of body in earth =mg=46

Weight of both in moon=m x 1/6 x g

=mg/6=46/6

=7.66N
