Question

Find the weight in newton of a 10 kg object on the moon
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight in Newton is 10kg

Explanation:

W(Moon) =mg (Moon) = 10*10/6 =16.7N (here 1 divided by 6gravity on moon is only 1/6 that of earth )

W(Earth)=mg (Earth) =10*10=100N

Th mass 10Kg on both the Moon and Earth

Answer 2

To find:

Weight of a 10 kg mass on the surface of the moon.

Calculation:

• Simply speaking , the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the moon is 1/6 times that of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth.

• g_(moon) = ⅙ [ g_(earth)]

Now, weight of the body on the moon actually represents the gravitational force with which the moon pulls the object.

Let weight be W:

$\rm \therefore \: W = m \times g_{(moon)}$

$\rm \implies \: W = m \times \bigg \{\dfrac{1}{6} \times g_{(earth)} \bigg \}$

$\rm \implies \: W = m \times \bigg \{\dfrac{1}{6} \times 10 \bigg \}$

$\rm \implies \: W = 10 \times \bigg \{\dfrac{1}{6} \times 10 \bigg \}$

$\rm \implies \: W =\dfrac{100}{6}$

$\rm \implies \: W =16.67 \: N$

So, weight of 10 kg mass on moon is 16.67 N.
