The gravitational pull on the moon is frac 1 6 ... - JAMB Physics 2022 Question
The gravitational pull on the moon is \(\frac{1}{6}\) that of the earth. If a body weighs 6.0 N on the moon, what will be its weight on the earth?
A
6.0 N
B
5.0 N
C
12.0 N
D
36.0 N
correct option: d
A body would weigh six times less on the moon than it weighs on Earth. In other words, the body would weigh six times more on the earth than it weighs on the moon.
Hence,
\(\frac{1}{6} of x\) = 6.0N on the moon
x = 6 * 6
x = 36
