Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given :

▪ Gravitational acceleration of moon = 1.60m/s^22

▪ 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=mg

W denotes weight force

m denotes mass

g denotes gravitational acc.

Calculation :

$</p><p></p><p>\begin{lgathered}\implies\sf\:W=mg\</p><p>\ \\ \implies\sf\:320=m(1.6)\\ \\ </p><p>\implies\boxed{\bf{\orange{m=200\:kg}}}</p><p>\end{lgathered}⟹W=mg⟹320=m(1.6)⟹m=200kg$

✴ 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.
