Question Question 8
The weight of a body of mass 6.0 kg on moon is 10 N. If a boy of mass 30 kg goes from earth to the moon surface, what will be his
(a) mass,
(b) weight?
(a) Mass of boy = 30 kg on moon surface as mass remains constant. Mass of a body does not change with place.
(b) Weight of body of mass 6.0 kg on moon surface = 10 N
Weight of body of mass 30 kg on moon surface = x 30 = 50 N
So, weight of boy of 30 kg on moon surface = 50 N.
