Question

A dog weighs 60 N on planet Earth. On the moon, he would weigh about

176 (one-sixth) of what he does on Earth. How much does the dog weigh on
the moon?

Answer 1

`\boxed{\purple{\textsf{The weight of the dog on moon is \textbf{10 Newtons. }}}}`

Explanation:

Given that the weight of the dog on the earth is 60N . We need to find the weight of dog on the moon. So we know that the weight of an object is one sixth the weight of an object on the moon. In other words the acceleration due to gravity is one sixth on the moon that of earth. We can use a formula as ,

`\qquad\boxed{\boxed{\sf Weight_((On \ moon ))= (1)/(6)* Weight_((On \ earth ))}}`

On substituting the respective values :-

`\sf\implies Weight_((On \ moon )) = (1)/(6)* Weight_((On \ earth )) \\\\\sf\implies Weight_((On \ moon )) =(1)/(6)* 60 N \\\\\sf\implies\boxed{\pink{\frak{ Weight_((On \ moon ))= 10 \ Newtons }}}`

Answer 2
