Question: Moon………

Date/C: 18-01-2019/F-4074/A2894
Answer: Mass of the object = m

Mass of the Earth = Me

Mass of the moon = Mm

Radius of the Earth = Re

Radius of the moon = Rm

Me  100Mm and Re=4 Rm

Weight of the object on earth is the force with which the earth attracts the object towards it.

Me m
We  G
R12

Weight of object on the moon is,

Me m
We  G
Rm2

So, ratio of object of weight on moon to weight on earth is,
