Question

What will be weight of a body of mass 10 kg on the surface of moon?​

Answer 1

The gravitational force on moon is one sixth of the gravitational force on earth. Hence if a body is weighting 10 kilo on moon, its weight on the earth will be 60 kilograms. Hence the correct answer to the given question is 60 kilograms.

Answer 2

Answer:

16.33 N

Explanation:

Q. What will be the weight of a body mass 10 kg on the surface of moon ?

Solution -

If the mass is 10 kg in earth so

Weight = Mass × gravity

(earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s²)

= 10 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 98 kg m/s²

= 98 N

So earth weight is 1/6 th in moon's land

98 N on Moon = 98×1/6

= 98/6

= 16.33 N

So the weight of the body of 10 kg on moon's surface = 16.33 N
