A object weight 10N,when measured on the surface of the earth,what would be it's weight measured on the surface of moon . what is the acceleration due to gravity on moon?

Open in App

Solution

Weight of object on earth = 10N
Weight of object on moon = 1/6 × weight of object on the earth
1/6 × 10 = 1.67 N

acceleration on moon = 9.8/6= 1.63 m/sq s
