Question

gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 1by 6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth . what is the weight in newton of 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

W=mg

g=1.6(gravity on moon )

m=10

10*1.6=16N

Answer 2

Given

Acceleration due to gravitational force on moon = 9.8 m/s *1/6

Mass of the object = 10 kg

Gravitational force on earth = 9.8

[Note : If the gravitational force is not mentioned in the question then we have to take 9.8 m/s or if it is mentioned than we will use that value]

Here as the gravitational force is not mentioned so we will take 9.8m/s

Weight on moon = m * g

= 10 * 9.8 * 1/6

= 98 * 1/6

= 49/3 N

And

Weight on earth = m * g

= 10 * 9.8

= 98 N
