Question

Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Earth's surface. The acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth. What is the weight (in N) of a person with a mass of 65.1 kg on the moon?

Step 1

Given that the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2, and on the moon it is 16.6% of Earth's gravity, we have: G_dash = 0.166 * 9.8 G_dash = 1.628 m/s^2 Show more…
