Question : If the mass of an object is 60 kg, what will be its weight on the moon?
Option 1: 60 N
Option 2: 600 N
Option 3: 100 N
Option 4: 10 N
Correct Answer: 100 N
Solution :
The correct option is 100N .
Weight (W) = Mass (M) × acceleration due to gravity (g)
The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the moon is 1/6th of that on Earth.
Acceleration due to gravity on Earth ≈ 10m/s²
So the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon will be = 10 × 1/6
Given the mass of the object = 60N
W = M × g
W = 60 × 10/6
W = 100N
So the weight of the object on the moon will be 100N.
