Question

what is the weight of an object on the earth, if its weight on the moon is 600N?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitation. A man weighs 600 N on the earth, what is his mass? (Take g = 10 m/s2). If he was taken to the moon, his weight would be 100 N.

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s

2

on earth

Mass on earth =

10

600

=60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg

′

m= mass =60 kg

g

= acc. due to gravity on moon =
