Question

the weight of a person is 600N on the earth.what will be its weight on the moon? The value of g on the moon =1/6 th of the value of g on the earth

Answer 1

Mass is the amount of matter a body contains. It will be same at all places i.e. remains constant.

Weight is the force or pull exerted by the earth with which it attracts a body. As it depends upon the acceleration due to gravity it changes from place to place.

In the given problem, W=600N

Using, WE=m×g

Mass, m=60kg (As, g=10m/s2)

Now at moon the mass will be same i.e. 60kg.

And the weight will be, 

Answer 2

Waight in the moon is 10 kg.
