If mass of a body is `M` on the earth surface, then the mass of the same body on the moon surface is

A

6 M

B

`(M)/(6)`

C

zero

D

M

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Mass of a body is its inherent property. It is independent of location of the body. Thus, mass of the remains same (M) whether it is on the surface of the earth or on the surface of the moon.
