Answer: The gravitational constant of the moon is [tex]1.315ms^{-2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.
[tex]P.E=mgh[/tex]
where
P.E = potential energy = 9862.5 J
m = mass of object = 125 kg
g = gravitation constant = ?
h = height of object = 60 m
Putting the values we get :
[tex]9862.5kgm^2s^{-2}=125kg\times g\times 60m[/tex]
[tex]g=1.315ms^{-2}[/tex]
