Question

I weigh 60 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. 20 kgs
• B. 30 kgs
• C. 10 kgs
• D. 5 kgs

Answer 1

The correct option is C

10 kgs

Given:

Weight on Earth = 60 kg
Gravity on Earth = 6 x Gravity on the moon

Therefore,

⇒ Gravity on Moon = $\frac{1}{6}$ the gravity on Earth
Weight on Moon $=60÷6=10$ kg
