Find the weight of a body on the Earth and on the surface of the Moon. Acceleration of gravity

Find the weight of a body on the Earth and on the surface of the Moon. Acceleration of gravity on the Moon = 1.6 m / s2? Body weight 1000 kg.

Given:

m = 1000 kilograms – body weight;

g1 = 9.8 m / s ^ 2 – acceleration of gravity on Earth;

g2 = 1.6 m / s ^ 2 – acceleration of gravity on the Moon.

It is required to determine the body weight on the Earth P1 (Newton) and the body weight on the Moon P2 (Newton).

Body weight on Earth:

P1 = m * g1 = 1000 * 9.8 = 9800 Newton.

Body weight on the moon:

P2 = m * g2 = 1000 * 1.6 = 1600 Newtons.

Answer: the weight of a body on the Earth will be equal to 9800 Newtons, on the Moon it will be equal to 1600 Newtons.
