Question

what will be the mass and weight of the body (of mass 50 kg) on the moon if the gravity of moon is 1/6 of the earth​

Answer 1

Answer: The mass of the body will remain same(50kg) whereas the weight will be 1/6 the weight on Earth. That is, weight of the body on moon = 1/6 * 50 * 10(g- acceleration due to gravity of Earth) = 1/6 * 500 = 250/3 = 83.33 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

• mass = 50 kg

Case :1

On Earth ,

g = 10 m/s²

•°• Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

= 50 × 10

= 500 kg m/s²

Case:2

On Moon,

g =1/6 m/s²

•°• Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

= 50 × 1/6

= 50/6

= 8.3333 kg m/s²
