  • Question
  • If a body weighs 12N on the surface of the earth, how much will it weigh on the surface of the moon where acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on earth's surface?


  • Options
  • A. 12N
  • B. 2N
  • C. 10N
  • D. 6N

  • Correct Answer
  • 2N 

    Explanation

    Weight is mass x g. Since mass is constant and g is only  1 6 t h of that on the earth. The weight on the moon is only  1 6 t h  of that on the earth. 

    Therefore 2N i.e (b) is the answer.
