Question

The value of g on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth if a person weight 14n on the moon's surface then weight of person on earth's surface is

Answer 1

if a person weight 14N on moon than its weight on earth = 14×6 =84N

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight of a person = 84 Newton

Explanation:

Given:

Person's weight on the moon's surface = 14 Newton

Weight of a body on the moon = 1/6  weight of a body on the earth

Or, the weight of a body on earth = 6 X the weight of a body on the moon

Weight of a body on the earth = 6 X 14 = 84 Newton

Answer 3

Answer:

Weight of a person on the earth's surface is 84N.

Explanation:

Given the value of g on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth

Weight of a person on the moon's surface = 14N  

Weight is defined as the force due to gravity acting on a body of mass, m.

Mathematically, it is given by $W=mg$

Let the mass of a body on moon be $g_{m}$

And is equal to 1/6 of its value on earth, therefore $g_{m}=\frac{1}{6} g$

Weight of a person on the moon,

$W_{m}=mg_{m}\implies 14=\frac{mg}{6}$

$\implies mg=14\times {6} =84N$    

Weight of a person on the earth's surface is 84N.
