Question

The value of acceleration due to gravity on moon
is approximately 1.60m/s². A body weighs 320N on moon
what is mass of the body​

Answer 1

▶ Solution :

Given :

▪ Gravitational acceleration of moon = 1.60m/s$^2$

▪ Weight of the body on moon =320N

To Find :

▪ Mass of the body.

Formula :

✏ Formula of weight force force in terms of mass of body and gravitational acceleration of planet is given by

$\underline{\boxed{\bf{\pink{W=mg}}}}$

• W denotes weight force
• m denotes mass
• g denotes gravitational acc.

Calculation :

$\implies\sf\:W=mg\\ \\ \implies\sf\:320=m(1.6)\\ \\ \implies\boxed{\bf{\orange{m=200\:kg}}}$

✴ Mass of the body = 200kg

Additional information :

• Gravitational acceleration of a planet does not depend upon mass of the body.
• It depends upon mass of planet and radius of planet.
