What is Wight?

  • It is the product of the mass and the gravitational acceleration.
  • Weight is the force applied on the planet by its mass.

The formula of weight is,

[tex]w = mg[/tex]

Where,

[tex]w[/tex]- weight

[tex]m[/tex] - mass

[tex]g[/tex]- gravitational acceleration

In the question given here the gravitational acceleration of the moon is 6 times less than that of the earth.

Therefore, the weight of an object is 6 times lighter than that of the earth.
