The mass of a body on earth is 100kg.(acceleration due to gravity, ge=10m/s2). If acceleration due to gravity on moon is (ge/6), then the mass of the body on the moon is

Dear Student,

Mass of the body always remains same it never changes , So it will be same on Earth as well as on Moon.

Yes but its weight changes
Weight of body on EARTH W= mg = 100*10 =1000 N
Weight of body on MOON W= mg = 100*10/6 =1000/6 N

Regards

Mass remains constant everywhere.
So mass will be same on moon as it is on earth.
But weight depends on Gravitational pull, hence weight=mg, Which will obviously decrease on moon
