Q:

If a body weighs 12N on the surface of the earth, how much will it weigh on the surface of the moon where acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on earth's surface?

A) 12N B) 2N
C) 10N D) 6N
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2N

Explanation:

Weight is mass x g. Since mass is constant and g is only 16thof that on the earth. The weight on the moon is only 16th of that on the earth. 

Therefore 2N i.e (b) is the answer.
