Question

find the weight of a 80 kg man on the surface of moon ?what should be his mass on the earth and on the moon?(g on earth=9.8m/s and g on moon=1.63)

Solution

Dear Student!!
Mass of the man is , m = 80 kg
Acceleration due to gravity on moon is ,
g' = 1eight on the moon = mg' = 80Ã—1.63 = 130.4 N
Mass is independent of gravity and it tells us the amount of matter present in the object. It remains constant throughout the universe.
