What would be the mass of a gold crown on the moon if it has a mass of 5 kg on Earth? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of that on Earth.



Answer :

The crown would weigh 0.833333333333333.

Answer: 8.17kg

Explanation:

The gravity on Earth is 9.8

Since the gravity on moon is 1/6 of Earth's gravity then the gravity of the moon is

= 9.8 ×(1/6)

= 1.63

Therefore the mass of the crown will be

= 1.63 × 5

= 8.17kg
