Question

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

One Line Answer

Solution

If the weight of a body on the earth is 6N, then its weight on the moon would be about 1N. This is  because acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1/6th the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface.
