Question

The mass of a body is 66 kg.
(i) What is the weight of the body on the surface of the earth?
(ii) Will its weight remain the same on the surface of the moon?
Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 times as that on the earth and we know that mass is property of the material it always remains same and weight is measure of gravitational force, hence

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 times as that on the earth and we know that mass is property of the material it always remains same and weight is measure of gravitational force, hence mass of object on moon is 60kg and weight =60g/6=10×10=100N

Answer 2

Explanation:

(i) The weight of the body on the surface of the Earth is 60 kg.
