Question

Find the ratio of weight of a man of mass 60kg on earth with a planet whose mass is 24times of earth and radius is 11times that of earth.

Answer 1

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 times as that on the earth and we know that mass is property of the material it always remains same and weight is measure of gravitational force, hence

mass of object on moon is 60kg and weight =60g/6=10×10=100N
