Question

How much person with 72 N weight on the earth weight on the moon ​

Answer 1

Answer:

I don't really know what is the answer but below one will give you a clue .

Explanation:

First of all, the earth's gravity is 9.8 ms⁻² and and the force acting on a body is 9.8N while on moon gravity is 1.62 ms⁻² and force acting on a body is 1.62N. Hence if a person with the weight 72N on earth will be 72/6 = 12N as the force acting on the moon is 1/6th the force on earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 N

Explanation:

g on earth= GM ÷ R²     where M= mass on earth

mass of moon= $\frac{1}{6}$ (mass on earth)

⇒ g on moon=$\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$= g on earth ÷ 6

thus weight of man on moon= mg earth ÷ 6

 =72÷6

=12 N
