The weight of an object drops to its half the weight at the surface of the moon at a height of 718.29 Km from the surface of the moon.
- The weight of an object is the measure of the gravitational force by which it is attracted.
- By Newton's law of gravitation, F= GMm/r²
- Using the above law and also using the information that weight of the body at height 'h' is half the weight at the surface we can calculate the height 'h'.
