Question

Weight of the body on Earth is $W$, then weight of the same body on Moon would be.

• A. $\frac{W}{6}$
• B. $\frac{W}{3}$
• C. $\frac{W}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{W}{6}$

Mass of the body is constant everywhere and acceleration due to gravity on Moon is $\frac{1}{6}$ times that of Earth.
Since, $Weight=mass\times gravity$
Therefore, weight of body on Moon would be $\frac{1}{6}$ times that of Earth.
