Question

The moon's gravitational pull is one sixth of that of earth. Calculate the weight of a body whose mass is 40kg on: a) the earth's surface
b) the moon's surface

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 &

weight =

${ \huge{ \bold {\frac{60g}{6} }} = 10 \times 10 = 100 \bold{n}}$

Answer 2

Answer:6.66666666667

Explanation:40kg*1/6

=40kg:6=6.66666666667
