The weight of the body on the Moon is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B one-sixth
Weight of a body at a place is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity at that place. Gravity changes from place to place but mass is constant everywhere in the universe. Since gravity changes, weight changes. The moon's gravity is one-sixth of earth's gravity. Hence, weight of the body on the Moon is one-sixth as compared to that on the Earth.
