Question

An Object weighs 600N on Earth. What would its weight be on on another planet of gravitational acceleration 8N/kg?

Answer 1

Correct option is A)

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s2 on earth

Mass on earth = 10600=60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg′

m= mass =60 kg

g′ = acc. due to gravity on moon = 61th the value on earth

So, Weight on moon = 61th of the weight on earth

⇒ Weight on the moon =600×61=100 N
