Answer:
Explanation:
Well, a man can’t weigh 60kg. Kg are a unit of mass not weight. And weight is simply the force exerted by a mass due to gravity. To calculate weight, multiply an object’s mass by the local gravitational constant, which is 9.8 N/Kg on Earth. (Newtons per kilogram - The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force).
A mass of 60kg on Earth will exert a downwards force (its ‘weight’) of 60 x 9.8 = 588N.
A mass of 60kg on the Moon will still be 60Kg as mass is independent of gravity, but will ‘weigh’ about 60 x 1.3 = 78N. The Moon’s gravity (its gravitational constant) is about 1/6th that of the Earth’s.
