1.) Find the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface.
2.) Find the acceleration due gravity on the surface of the moon.
NECESSARY FORMULAS
Weight = Mass × Acceleration
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface :
Weight = mg
49N = 5 × g
5g = 49
g = 9.8 m/s²
Acceleration on the moon :
1/6 × 9.8 = 1.6333 m/s²
The weight on the moon:
5 × 1.6333 = 8.1665N
Answer : 8.1665 N
