The body of mass 25 kg is taken from the earth to the moon. If the value of g on the moon is 1.6 ms-2 then the weight of the body on the moon is : (a) 50 N (b) 100 N (c) 40 N (d) 60 N

40 N

Reason — As we know,

Weight (W) = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)

Given,

mass = 25 kg

g on moon = 1.6 ms^-2

W_m = ?

Substituting the values, we get,

W_m = 25 × 1.6 = 40 N

Hence, the weight of the body on the moon = 40 N.
