"Weight" describes the force of an object due to the mass of the object and the acceleration of that object. Since the gravitational "attraction" (force) is now 1/10 the size, the weight will also be 1/10 the size.
This question deals with the comparison of weight of an object on a planet where the gravitatonal acceleration is one-tentht of the Earth's gravitational acceleration.
The weight of the same object on a planet where the gravitational attraction has been reduced to 1/10 of the earths pull will be "One-tenth of the weight of the object on Earth".
The weight of an object on Earth is given by the following formula:
W = mg ----------- eqn(1)
where,
W = Weight of object on Earth
m = mass of the object (constant everywhere in the universe)
g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth
For the new planet:
Weight = W'
mass = m
acceleration due to gravity = g' = [tex]\frac{g}{10}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]W' = m\frac{g}{10}[/tex]
using eqn (1)
[tex]W' = \frac{W}{10}[/tex]
Hence, the weight on the new planet will be one-tenth the weight on Earth.
