Question
A woman has a mass of 42.9 kg. What is her weight on earth? and what is her weight on the moon, where g=1.17 m/s2

jai
g = 9.8m/(s^2) *acceleration due to gravity on earth*
therefore:
W,earth = mg = 42.9*9.8 = 420.42 N = 420. N (if significant figures must be checked)
W,moon = mg = 42.9*1.17 = 50.2 N
so there,, :)
