Question

The weight of a person on Earth is $600N$. Find his weight on the moon.

• A. Zero
• B. $100N$
• C. $600N$
• D. $6300N$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $100N$

Given,

Weight of a person on earth, $W_{earth}=600N$

We know,

$\text{Weight of the object on the moon}=\frac{1}{6}\times \text{its weight on the earth}$

$\text{Weight of the object on the moon}=\frac{1}{6}\times 600$

$\text{Weight of the object on the moon}=100N$
