Question

Calculate the weight of 10 friends on Earth, on Moon and on any other Celestial body.​

Answer 1

Assume that all the friends have a same mass.

Let the mass of one friend = x

∴ Total mass = 10x

EARTH:-

We know, g (on Earth) = 9.8 m/s²

∴ Weight = 10x × 9.8 = 98x ...On Earth

MOON:-

We know,

Weight in Moon of an object = ⅙(Weight on Earth)

∴ Weight in Moon = ⅙(98x) = (49/3)x = 16.33x ...On Moon

VENUS:-

g in Venus = 8.8 m/s²

∵ Total mass = 10x,

∴ Weight = 10x × 8.8 = 88x ...On Venus
