Question

the mass and weight of an object on earth are 5 kg and 49N respectively. what will be their values on the moon? assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on the earth
.​

Answer 1

Answer:

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

Identify and analyze static equilibrium situations

Set up a free-body diagram for an extended object in static equilibrium

Set up and solve static equilibrium conditions for objects in equilibrium in various physical situations

Answer 2

Weight =Mass×acceleration
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface:
Weight=mg
49N=5×g
g = 9.8 m/s
2

Acceleration on the moon:
6
1
​
×9.8=1.6333m/s
2

The weight on the moon:
5 × 1.6333= 8.1665 N
Answer: 8.1665 N





I hope it helps
