Star(*) marks are used for reference in the answer.
Answer:
16.66 N or 16.66 newton or 16.66 kg m/s²
Explanation:
Mass of object in earth = 10 kg
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Weight* of object in earth
= Mass × Acceleration due to gravity*
= 10kg × 10 m/s² [g = 9.8 m/s; g ≈ 10m/s²]
= 100 kg m/s²
Weight of object in moon
= ⅙ × Weight of object in earth
= ⅙ × 100 kg m/s²
= 16.66 kg m/s²
= 16.66 N or 16.66 newton
*Weight is a type of force.
*Acceleration due to gravity is also called gravity.
