The mass and weight of an object on the ...

The mass and weight of an object on the earth are 5 kg nad 49 N respectively. What will be their values on the moon ? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on the earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: `m_(e)=5kg`
`W_(e)=49N`
`g_(m)=1/6 g_(e)=1/6xx9.8=1.633m//s^(2)`
To find: Mass of Moon `m_(m)=?`
Weight on Moon `W_(m)=?`
formula `W=F=mg`
Solution: Mass remais same: `m_(m)=5kg`
`W_(m)=m_(m)xxg_(m)`
`=5xx1.633`
`W_(m)=8.15N`
Mass on Moon is 5 kg and weight is `8.15N`
