Question
If an object weighs 6 N on earth what will be its weight on moon. What will be the change in its mass?
Solution
Weight of body on moon = `1/6`th of its weight on earth.
∴ Body will weigh `1/6` of 6 = `1/6` x 6 = 1 N on moon
Mass of a body does not change with change in gravity. So mass of a body will remain the same on moon.
