Q34 of 35 Page 143

How much would a 70kg man weigh on the moon? What will be his mass on earth and moon?

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon is equal to 1.6m/s2.


So, the weight of a person on moon = mg


= 70kg × 1.6m/s2


= 112N


Mass doesn’t vary; it remains constant, it remains same whether on earth or moon so, the mass will be equal to = 70kg on the moon as well as on earth.
