Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only `1//6` as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10kg object on the moon and on the earth?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass of object,`m= 10 kg`
This is the same on earth and moon .
weight of the object on earth, `W_(e)=mg_(e)=10xx9.8=98N`
weight of the object on moon, `W_(m)=mg_(m)=10xx9.8/6=166.3N`.
