Question

an object weights 10N when measure on the surface of the earth.what should be it's weight when measures on the surface of earth what would it's weight when measure on the surface of moon

please give me full explanation ​

Answer 1

Given : Weight of the object placed on the surface of the earth is 10N

To find : Weight of the object placed on the surface of the moon.

Solution: Force of any object is followed by the formula

Force = mass x acceleration

F = m  x a

In the case of the moon,

The acceleration due to gravity (g) on the moon is said to be 1/6th of the acceleration of gravity of the earth.

Therefore, the weight of the object placed on the surface of the moon will be

1/6 x 10N = 1.66N

Hence, the weight of an object on the surface of the moon is 1.66N
