Answer:
W = 145.8 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.
W = m*g
where:
m = mass = 90 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]
W = 90*1.62
W = 145.8 [N]
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Coulomb's law for which the Electrostatic Force is defined as,
Here,
k = Coulomb's constant
= Charge at each object
r = Distance between them
As the distance is doubled so,
Therefore the factor is 1/4
We will apply the concept of period in a pendulum, defined as the product between 2 by the square root of the length over gravity, this is mathematically
Here,
T = Period
L = Length
g = Acceleration due to gravity
For the period to be 1 second, then we must look for the necessary length for such a requirement so
The meter's length would be slight less than one-fourth of its current length. Also, the number of significant digits depends only on how precisely we know g, because the time has been defined to be exactly 1s.
Therefore the correct answer is C.
