Answer :
Given -
To Find -
Solution -
We know that, Weight is the product of mass and gravitational force (acceleration due to gravity).
⇒ W = mg
Weight on moon :
⇒ 16 = m*1.6
⇒ m = 16/1.6
⇒ m = 10 kg
Now, Calculating Weight om Earth :
⇒ W = 10*9.8
⇒ W = 98 N
Hence, The weight of the stone on earth is 98 N.
