What is the acceleration due to gravity , g, on the moon , if g is 10m/s^2  on  the earth.

$$\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{acceleration}\:\mathrm{due}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{gravity}\:,\:\mathrm{g},\:\mathrm{on}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{moon}\:,\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{g}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{10m}/\mathrm{s}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{on} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{earth}. \\ $$

since gravity in moon is (1/6)of the  earth′s  ∴⇒10/6=5/3 ms^(−2)

$$\mathrm{since}\:\mathrm{gravity}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{moon}\:\mathrm{is}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{earth}'\mathrm{s} \\ $$$$\therefore\Rightarrow\mathrm{10}/\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{5}/\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{ms}^{−\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
