A) M/6 B) Zero C) M D) None of these

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

● Answer -

(C) M

◆ Explanation -

• Mass of the body is universally same. It is not affected by acceleration due to gravity and thus is same everywhere. Hence, mass of body will be same i.e. M at both earth surface & moon surface.

# Extra information -

• Acceleration due to gravity on moon surface is 1/6th to that on earth.
• Thus, weight of the body on moon surface will be 1/6th to that on earth.

Keep asking.

Answer 2

Answer:

mass remain same so, answer is M
