A man weigh 600 N on the earth. What is its mass ? Take `g=10m//s^(2)`. If he were taken on moon, his weight would be 100 N. What is his mass on moon ? What is acceleration due to gravity on moon ?

Answer

`60 kg, 60 kg, 1.67 m//s^(2)`

Explanation

Here, `W_(e)=600N, m=?, g_(e)=10m//s^(2)`
`m_(e)=W_(e)/g_(e)=600/10=60kg`
mass on moon=mass on earth`=60kg`
As `W_(m)=100N,` `g_(m)=W_(m)/m=100/601.67m//s^(2)`
