Answer:
mass = 9.7 kg
Explanation:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)
16.5 = mass x 1.7
mass = [tex]\frac{16.5}{1.7}[/tex] = 9.7 kg
The mass for the given solid on the surface of moon is 9.7 kg.
The force of attraction felt by a person which is directed at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.
The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
Given a solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)
Substituting the values, we have
16.5 = M x 1.7
M = 9.7 kg
Thus, the mass of the solid is 9.7 kg.
