Question

An object whose mass on earth equals 6 kg. Calculate its weight on both surfaces of the earth and the moon??

Answer 1

in earth = mg

             =6*9.8

               =58.8 kg

in moon the weight of the body is 1/6th of weight of earth of the body

in moon=1/6*58.8

             =9.8 kg

Answer 2

Weight on earth will be product of 6 and 9.8,as its value of g on earth

6*9.8=58.8N

Weight on moon will be multiplication of 6 and 1.63,as value of g on moon is 1.63

6*1.63=9.78N
