Question

A body weighs $60\text{N}$ on moon. Find its approximate weight on the earth.

• A. $60\text{N}$
• B. $180\text{N}$
• C. $360\text{N}$
• D. $420\text{N}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $360\text{N}$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is approximately $1/6\text{th}$ of the value at the surface of earth.

So, weight of the body on the earth, $w^{{}^{\prime }}=w\times 6=60\times 6=360\text{N}$
