what is the weight of an object of mass 10 kg on moon and on earth? What is the relation between value of 'g' on earth and on moon? (Take value of 'g' on earth to be = 9.8 m s-2)
Value of gravity on the surface of moon is 1/6 times to that of on the surface of earth.i.e.
gm = ge/6
Weight of the object on surface of the earth is,W = mge
where ge = 9.8 m s-2
m = 10 kg
W = 10× 9.8
= 98 kg ms-2
Weight of the object on the surface of the moon is ,W' = mgm
=m ge/6
= 10×9.8/6
= 16.33 kg ms-2
gm = ge/6
Weight of the object on surface of the earth is,W = mge
where ge = 9.8 m s-2
m = 10 kg
W = 10× 9.8
= 98 kg ms-2
Weight of the object on the surface of the moon is ,W' = mgm
=m ge/6
= 10×9.8/6
= 16.33 kg ms-2
