If the mass of an object is 600 kgs, what will be its weight on the moon? (N = Newton)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Mass is constant and does not change with location
Given mass = 600 kg
Weight is calculated using W = m × g
On the Moon, gravity is approximately 1/6th of Earth's gravity
So, g (Moon) ≈ 9.8 / 6 ≈ 1.63 m/s²
Now, Weight on Moon = 600 × 1.63 ≈ 978 N
This is approximately equal to 960 N (nearest option)
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
