Question

I weigh 54 kgs on Earth. If the gravity on the moon is one-sixth that of the Earth, then my weight on the Moon will be ____.

• A. 10 kg
• B. 9 kg
• C. 54 kg
• D. 60 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B 9 kg

Given: Weight on Earth = 54 kg
Gravity on Earth = 6 $\times$ Gravity on the moon

Therefore,

⇒ Gravity on Moon = $\frac{1}{6}\times$ the gravity on Earth
Weight on Moon $=54÷6=9kg$
