Answer:
(a) 200.0628 N ; ( b) 4.08Kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We know,
w = mg [here w= weight , m= mass , g= gravity]
now,
gravity on earth (g) =9.807 m/s²
mass of the spanner (m)=?
weight of the spanner on earth(w) = 40N
⇒ w = 40N
⇒m g =40N
⇒m = (40/g) Kg
⇒m= (40/9.807)Kg
∴m=4.08Kg
∴mass of the spanner on earth = 4.08Kg
We know,
Mass is the amount of matter in an object . So mass will remain same both on earth and jupiter.
So,
(b)The mass of the spanner on jupiter = 4.08Kg
Now,
The mass of the spanner on jupitar (m) = 4.08Kg
Gravity on jupiter (g*) = 5.g [5 times on earth]
= 5 . (9.807)m/s²
=49.035 m/s²
(a)
∴weight of the spanner on jupitar(w*) = m g*
=(4.08 x 49.035) N
=200.0628 N
