What is the mass and weight of an object on the surface of the moon, if on the earth its mass is 12 kg?

Answer»

Mass of the object on earth is 12 kg. It will be 12 kg on the moon also. Value of ‘g’ on the moon is one-sixth of its value on the earth.

Weight of the object on earth = mg = 12 x 9.8 = 117.6

N Weight of the object on moon 1

= 12 x \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 9.8 = 19.6 N.
