Answer: The weight of the bag of sugar on the Moon is 3.68 N
Explanation:
Weight is defined as the force exerted by the body on any surface. It is also defined as the product of mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
Mathematically,
[tex]W=m\times g_m[/tex]
where,
W = weight of the bag of sugar
m = mass of the bag of sugar = 2.26 kg
[tex]g_m[/tex] = acceleration due to gravity on moon = [tex]\frac{g_e}{6}=\frac{9.8}{6}=1.63m/s^2[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]W=2.26kg\times 1.63 m/s^2=3.68N[/tex]
Hence, the weight of the bag of sugar on the Moon is 3.68 N
