Question

The weight of a person on earth is $600N$. His weight on moon will appear as:

• A. $zero$
• B. $100N$
• C. $600N$
• D. $3600N$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $100N$

Given,

Weight of person on earth $600N$

Weight on moon $=m{g}_m$

As we know, As we know gravitational acceleration on tmoon is 1/6 of gravtitation acceleration earth. $g_m=\frac{1}{6}{g}_e$

Weight of object on earth = Force by which earth pull the object towards the center $F=m{g}_e=600N$

$\therefore$ Weight on moon $g_m=m\times \frac{1}{6}{g}_e=\frac{600}{6}=100N$

Hence Option B
