gravity on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as the gravity on earth. What is the weight of a 39kg on the earth?
how much acceleration does a 747 jumbo jet of mass 30,000 kg experience in takeoff when the thrust for each of four engines is 30,000?
6 Times The Mass Of The Object
I Like Physics
To find the weight of an object on Earth, you can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Gravity
On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Using this formula, we can calculate the weight of the object:
Weight on Earth = Mass x Gravity on Earth = 39 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Weight on Earth = 382.2 N
Therefore, the weight of a 39 kg object on Earth is approximately 382.2 Newtons.
39/6 kg of weight = 6.5 kg(wt)
Since you are talking physics, it is better to express the answer in Newtons
W = M (g/6) = 63.7 newtons.
There is nothing wrong with measuring weights in kg, but kg is really a mass measurement and newtons should be used for force and weight. Weight varies with the local value of the acceleration of gravity.
