Question

Physics tell us that weights of an object on the moon is proportional to its weight on earth suppose a 90kg man weighs 15 kg on the moon what will a 60 kg woman weigh on the moon

Answer 1

Let x be the weight of a 60 kg woman.

Given, 90kg/15kg = 60kg/x

               x = 10kg.


Hence 60kg woman will have 10kg mass on the moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

10 kg will a 60 kg woman weigh on the moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Physics tell us that weights of an object on the moon is proportional to its weight on earth suppose a 90 kg man weighs 15 kg on the moon.

To find : What will a 60 kg woman weigh on the moon?

Solution :

Let the 60 kg woman weigh 'x' kg on the moon.

According to question,

Weights of an object on the moon is proportional to its weight on earth suppose a 90 kg man weighs 15 kg on the moon.

i.e. $\frac{\text{Earth}}{\text{Moon}}=\frac{90}{15}=\frac{60}{x}$

Cross multiply,

$90\times x=60\times 15$

$x=\frac{60\times 15}{90}$

$x=10$

Therefore, 10 kg will a 60 kg woman weigh on the moon.
