Question

How much will a 70 kg mass weigh on the moon? Take $g_{moon}=1.63m/s^2$

Answer 1

Step1: Given data:-

Mass of man (m) = 70 Kg.

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon $\left(g_{moon}\right)$= 1.63 $m/s^2$

Weight of man on the moon (W) = ?

Step2: Formula used:-

$$\begin{gathered} Weight=mass\times gravity \\ W=mg \end{gathered}$$

Step3: Finding the weight on the moon:-

$W=mg$

$$\begin{gathered} W=70kg\times 1.63m/s^2 \\ W=114.1N \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the weight on the moon will be 114.1 N.
