Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between mass and weight is to be determined. Also, the reason for the weight on the moon to be one-sixth to that on earth is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Mass is defined as the quantity of matter contained in the object. Weight is defined as the measure of the intensity of force that is applied to it.
Therefore, the weight and mass can be different for the same substance depending upon the intensity of the gravity.
