A pendulum clock is placed on the moon, where object weighs only one-sixth as much as on earth. How many times the clock tick out in an actual time of 1 minute, the clock keeps good time on earth.

Weight on other planets- Space itself has no gravity but stars, moons and other planets do. In fact, they have either more or less gravity than Earth, depending on their mass. This means that your weight will be more or less on other planets than what your weight is on Earth. The gravity on moon is 1/6th of the Earth's gravity so your weight on moon will be 1/6th of your weight on Earth. If your weight is 48 kg on Earth, figure out how much you would weigh on each of the following planets? (1) Mars " " (2) Jupiter " " (3) Saturn
