Question

The mass and weight of box is 25 Kg and 245 N respectively when on Earth. What is the value of mass and weight of the box when it is brought to the moon?

Answer 1

25 (kg) and 40.5 (N).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the value of 'g' on the Earth is ~9.81 (N/kg), the value of 'g' on the Moon is ~1.62 (N/kg).

It means, the mass is not depended on the value of 'g', but the weight is depended on it.

2) the mass on the Moon is the same, 25 kg.

the weight is 25*1.62=40.5 N
