Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only `1//6` as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10kg object on the moon and on the earth?

Explanation

We know that the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is `9.8 xx 1/6m//s^2`.So the acceleration due to gravity on the surface fo moon will be `1/6` of this value ,that is `9.8xx1/6m//s^2`.
Calculation of weight on the moon
Mass of object m=10 kg
Acceleration due to `g=9.8xx1/6m//s^2`
gravity on moon
Now Weight of object `W=mxxg`
On moon =`10xx9.8xx1/6`
=16.3 N (or 16.3 newtons )
(ii) Calculation of weight on the earth
Mass of object m=10 kg
Acceleration due to `g=9.8 m//s^2`
gravity on earth
Weight of object `W=mxxg`
(on earth ) `=10xx9.8`
=98 N (or 98 newton )
