- As the mass of the moon is 1/100 times the mass of Earth and the radius of the moon is ¼ times the radius of the Earth
- As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one-sixth when compared to that of the Earth
- The weight of an object depends on the value of acceleration due to gravity g
- Hence the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th of the weight on the Earth
Calculation:
Weight on Earth = mg = 60 × 9.8 N
Weight on Moon:
\({W_m} = \frac{1}{6}{W_E} = \frac{1}{6} \times 60 = 10 N \)
