The weight of any person on the moon is ...

The weight of any person on the moon is about `1//6` times that on the earth. He can lift a mass of 15 kg on the earth. What will be the maximum mass, which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the moon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `W_(m)=1/6W_(e)`
`:. g_(m)=1/6g_(e)`
Force applied by the person on lift a mass m
`F=m g_(e)=15g_(e)`
If he can lift a mass m' on moon by applying same force,then `F=m'g_(m)`
`F=m' g_(m)=15g_(e)`
`m'=15(g_(e))/(g_(m))=15xx6=90 kg`.
