An object weighs 10 N when measured on the surface of the earth. What would be its weight when measured on the surface of the moon?

Solution:
We know,
Weight of object on the moon = (1/6) × its weight on the earth.
That is, W_{m =} W_e / 6 = 10/6 N = 1.67 N.
Thus, the weight of object on the surface of the moon would be 1.67 N
