Question

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

Answer 1

Mass of an object is fixed and it doesn't depend upon any external factors like gravitational or electrostatic forces.

Weight of the object depends upon the acceleration due to gravity of a planet,i.e. g and mass of the object.

So mass of the object on earth=mass of the object on moon=5kg
Now weight of object on earth=m x g=49N
and weight of object on moon=m x g/6
=mg/6
=49/6
=8.167N

Answer 2
