Problem

A spring balance shows a reading of

50\,\text{N}

when an object is weighed on Earth. The same object is then taken to the Moon along with a beam balance. Which set of readings is MOST likely when the object is weighed on the Moon? a) Beam balance:

5.1\,\text{kg}

; Spring balance:

50\,\text{N}

b) Beam balance:

0.85\,\text{kg}

; Spring balance:

8.3\,\text{N}

c) Beam balance:

5.1\,\text{kg}

; Spring balance:

8.3\,\text{N}

d) Beam balance:

50\,\text{N}

; Spring balance:

5.1\,\text{kg}
