Question

The gravitational field strength on the moon is 1.6N/Kg. Babatunde has a mass of 78kg what would babatunde weigh on the moon

Answer 1

Given: The gravitational field strength on the moon is $1.6N/kg$. Babatunde has a mass of $78kg$.

To find: The weight of Babatunde on the moon.

Solution:

From the question, we know,

The mass of Babatunde $=78kg$

The gravitational field strength on the moon $=1.6N/kg$

We know that to find out the weight, the mass is to be multiplied with the gravitational strength that is,

$W=mg$

⇒ $W =78 * 1.6$

⇒$W=124.8N$

As the SI unit of weight is newton therefore the weight will be $124.8N$

Final answer:

The weight of Babatunde on the moon will be $124.8N.$
