Mass of an object is 60 kg. What will be its weight when measured on the surface of the Moon?(consider acceleration due to gravity on Earth as 9.8 m/s2)

Sure, here's how you can calculate the weight of an object on the moon:

1. First, you need to know that the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth. So, if the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s², on the moon it would be approximately 1.6 m/s².

2. The weight of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this would be 60 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 588 N (Newtons).

3. However, we want to find the weight on the moon. So we take the mass of the object and multiply it by the moon's gravity: 60 kg * 1.6 m/s² = 96 N.

So, an object that has a mass of 60 kg on Earth would weigh 96 N on the moon.
