Question

The weight of a body on earth is 98 N where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m s^-2. What will be it's (a) mass and (b) weight on moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m s^-2 ?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(a) As we know, Weight (W) = mass (m) x acceleration due to gravity (g) Given, w = 98 N g = 9.8 m s^-2 Substituting the values in the formula above, we get, Hence, the mass of the body = 10 kg. (b) As mass is constant and it's value remains same on moon (m) as on earth (e), hence, m_e = m_m = 10 kg g_moon = 1.6 m s^-2 Substituting the values in the formula above, we get, Hence, the weight on moon = 16 N.
