Answer:


\implies 32N

Explanation:

Given :

  • gravitation due to gravity on moon (g) = 1.6m/s
  • Mass (m) = 20kg

To Find:

  • Weight (w) = ?

Solution:

We know that,

Formula of weight :

  • w = mg

SI Unit of weight in gravity :

  • Newton (N)

According to question

  • w = mg
  • w = 20kg × 1.6m/s
  • w = 32N


\therefore the weight of the moon in gravity is 32N.
