Question

prove that weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th of the weight of the object on surface of Earth?

give the answer clearly.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

tye Weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th of the weight of the yhe object on surface of eart because the gravitational force of earth 6th multiplier than the moons gravitation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

mass of moon=7.36×10^22

mass of earth=6.37×10^24

radius of moon=1.74×10^6

g=GMm/Rm^2

g=6.67×10^-11*7.36×10^22/(1.74×10^6)^2

g=1.6ms-2

we can put the value of g=9.8ms-2

so,

gm/ge=1.6/9.8=1/6
