Question

a solid weighs 500 newtons on earth if the force of gravity on the moon is 1.7 newtons per kg determine the mass of the solid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of solid is 294.1 kg

Explanation:

Weight, W:

${ \boxed{ \bf{W = m \times g}}}$

${ \tt{500 = (1.7 \times m)}} \\ { \tt{m = 294.1 \: kg}}$

Answer 2

Answer:294.1kg

Explanation:  Force of object(F) = 500N

                       Force of gravity on moon = 1.7N/kg= 1N / 1.7kg

                       Mass of object = ?

                        From Newtons first law

                         F=mg

                        therefore m= F/g    

                                               500/ 1.7

                                                =294.1 kg
