Question

A grandfather clock has a mass of 11.2kg. what is the weight on the moon, where gravity is 1.67.

Answer 1

The weight of person on the moon can be given as,

`w=mg`

Substitute the known values,

`\begin{gathered} w=(11.2kg)(1.67m/s^2)(\frac{1\text{ N}}{1kgm/s^2}) \\ =18.7\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the weight of person on the moon is 18.7 N,
