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

On earth Force applied by the man (F) on earth `=mxxg(m=mass)`
On moon `g=(g)/(6)SO`, by same force he can be lifted by the same force he can lift `m_(1)g//6=m` as Om = 15 kg so, m= 15/56 = 90 kg As Mass does not change at every place. It is concerned quantity. So, 15 kg will be maximum mass which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the moon.
