Question

The force of gravity on Earth is 6 times greater than on the moon. As a result, objects weigh 6 times as much on Earth as they do on the moon. A scientific instrument weighs 34 pounds on the moon. How much does the instrument weigh on Earth?

Answer 1

Answer: The instrument weigh 204 ounces on Earth.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Instrument weighed on the moon = 34 pounds

As we know that

The force of gravity on Earth is 6 times greater than on the moon.

So, the weight of instrument on the earth is 6 times the weight on the moon.

Mathematically, it is expressed as

`6* 34\\\\=204\ ounces`

Hence, the instrument weigh 204 ounces on Earth.
