The force of gravity on the surface of the Earth, acting on the astronaut, is equal to 882 H

The force of gravity on the surface of the Earth, acting on the astronaut, is equal to 882 H. With what force will the force of the Moon’s gravity act on the astronaut on its surface.

Since the mass of the astronaut under consideration is a constant value, the force of gravity acting on him on the Moon can be expressed from the equality: Ftz / gz = Ftl / gl, whence Ftl = Ftz * gl / gz.

Constants and variables: Ftz – gravity on the Earth (Ftz = 882 N); gl – acceleration of gravity on the Moon (gl = 1.6 N); gz – acceleration of gravity on Earth (gz = 9.8 N)

Let’s perform the calculation: Ftl = Ftz * gl / gz = 882 * 1.6 / 9.8 = 144 N.

Answer: The gravity on the moon will be 144 N.
