Question

if weight of a body on earth is 60 N, what will be its weight on moon?why?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.

Answer 2

Answer :

• Weight of body on moon will be 10 N

Explanation :

Acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 times the gravitational force of earth than that of gravitational force on moon,

So,

Weight on moon will be 1/6 times the weight on the surface of Earth

⇒Weight = 60/6

⇒Weight = 10 N
