Question

A man weighs $600N$ on earth. What would be his approximate weight on the moon? Give a reason for your answer?

Answer 1

Given,
$\text{Weight of man on the earth}=600N$
We know that,
$Weightonthemoon=\frac{1}{6}Weightontheearth$
Because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is $\frac{1}{6}\text{th}$ that of earth.

Hence,
$\text{the weight of man on the moon}=\frac{600}{6}$
$=100N$
