Answer:
[tex]W_m=183.495N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Weight [tex]W=248Ibs[/tex]
Mass of Weight [tex]m= 248*0.453[/tex]
[tex]m=112.344kg[/tex]
Generally the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is one-sixth that on Earth.
Therefore
The equation for Weight on Moon is given as
[tex]W_m=m*g/6[/tex]
[tex]W_m=122.344*\frac{9.8}{6}[/tex]
[tex]W_m=183.495N[/tex]
Answer:
F ’= 40.9 lb
Explanation:
The weight of a body is the attraction of the Earth on the body
F = [tex]G \frac{m M_e}{R_e^2}[/tex]
F = mg
m = F / g
m = 248/32
m = 7.75 slug
The weight of the body on the moon is the attraction of the body for the satellite
F ’= [tex]G \frac{mM}{R^2}[/tex]
from the tables the mass and radius of the moon are M = 7.34 10²² kg and R = 1.74 10⁶ m
let's reduce the mass to the SI system
m = 7.75 slug (14.59 kg / 1 slug) = 113 kg
F ’= 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 113 7.34 10²² / (1.74 10⁶) ²
F ’= 1.82 10² N
F ’= 1.82 10² N (0.2248 lb / 1 N)
F ’= 40.9 lb
