If the mass of a body is M on the surface of the Earth, the mass of the same body on the surface of the Moon is:

A

M

B

zero

C

`(M)/(6)`

D

6M

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The mass of the body on the surface of the Moon is M because it does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity and remains the same at all places.
