The mass of an object on Earth is 200 kg and its weight 15200 N. What will be the mass and weight on the Moon if the force of gravity is 1/6th of the force of gravity on Earth in kg and N​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor on earth is 15200 / 200 = g

g = 78 but it certainly cannot be in m/sec^2. The question does not seem to be correct.

To continue, the mass on the moon is 200 kg. It would be the same on Mars or Jupiter or anywhere in the universe.

If g is 1/6 the value on the moon as on earth then

g_moon = 78 *(1/6)

g_moon = 13 and again, I cannot specify the units.
