Question

a solid weighs 500 newtons on earth if the force of gravity on the moon is 1.7 newtons per kg determine the mass of the solid​

Answer 1

Answer:294.1kg

Explanation: Force of object(F) = 500N

Force of gravity on moon = 1.7N/kg= 1N / 1.7kg

Mass of object = ?

From Newtons first law

F=mg

therefore m= F/g

500/ 1.7

=294.1 kg

Answer 2

Mass of solid is 294.1 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight, W:

`{ \boxed{ \bf{W = m * g}}}`

`{ \tt{500 = (1.7 * m)}} \\ { \tt{m = 294.1 \: kg}}`
