The Moon's radius is` 1/4` that of earth and its mass is `1/80` times that of the Earth. If g represents the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth, that on the surface of the Moon is `.......... `

A

`g/4`

B

`g/5`

C

`g/6`

D

`g/7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Using `g = (GM)/(R^(2))"we get " g_(m) = g/5`
