Answer:
The weight of the wrench on the Moon is approximately 0.8555 N
Explanation:
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity at sea level is 9.8 m/s^2
then if the wrench weights 5.24 N that means that its mass according to Newton's second law is:
[tex]F = m \, a\\m=\frac{F}{a} \\m=\frac{5.24}{9.8} \, kg\\m=0.5347[/tex]
Now we can use the wrench's mass to find its weight on the Moon, knowing that the acceleration due to gravity there is 1.6 m/s^2:
[tex]W=m\,g\\W=(0.5347) \,(1.6) \,N\\W=0.8555\,\,N[/tex]
