If the weight of a body on the earth is $6\ N$, what will it be on the moon?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

Weight of a body on the earth$=6\ N$

Weight of the body on the moon $=\frac{1}{6}\times$weight of the body on earth

$=\frac{1}{6}\times6$

$=1\ N$

Therefore, the weight of the body on the moon is $1\ N$.

Why is the weight of an object on the moon $( \frac{1}{6})^{th}$ it's weight on the earth?
The mass and weight of an object on earth are \( 5 \mathrm{~kg} \) and \( 49 \mathrm{~N} \) respectively. What will be their values on the moon? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is \( 1 / 6 \) th of that on the earth.
The weight of any person on the moon is about 1 /6 times that on the earth. He can lift a mass of 15 kg on the earth. What will be the maximum mass, which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the moon?
A body has a weight of $10\ kg$ on the surface of earth. What will be its weight when taken to the centre of the earth ?
Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only $\frac{1}{6}$ as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a $10\ kg$ object on the moon and on the earth?
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about ___________ of that on the earth.In order that the force of gravitation between two bodies may become noticeable and causes motion one of the bodies must have an extremely large ___________.The weight of an object on the earth is about ___________ of its weight on the moon.The weight of an object on the moon is about ___________ of its weight on the earth.The value of 'g' on the earth is about ___________ of that on the moon.If the weight of a body is 6N on the moon, it will be about ___________ on the earth.
An object has mass of 20 kg on earth. What will be its (i) mass, and (ii) weight, on the moon?$(g\ on\ moon=1.6\ m/s^2)$.
What is the weight of a body on earth whose mass is 25 kg?
A spring balance can withstand a weight of \( 980 \mathrm{~N} \) on earth without getting deformed. What should be the maximum mass of a body that can be weighed using this spring balance on the moon?
Complete the weight of a body on the moon if the mass is 60 kg ? g is given 1.625m/s2
How much is the weight of an object on the moon as compared to its weight on the earth? Give reason for your answer. It is quite difficult to lift heavy weights on the earth but it becomes very easy to lift the same heavy weights on the moon. Why?
If the mass of the moon is 1/100 th the mass of the earth and the radius of moon is 1/4th to the radius of earth , what is the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on earth to that on the moon?
