Q
The weight of any person on the moon is about 1/6 times that on the earth. He can lift a mass of 15 kg on the earth. What will be the maximum mass, which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the moon?
A
Soln:
Weight of person is = 1/6th of weight on earth
This proves acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1/6th of acceleration due to gravity on earth. Hence the person can lift a mass 6 times heavier on moon than on earth.
