Are You Sure You Know Your Basics-3?

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Lets suppose your mass on Earth is x x kg. Also suppose that you are on a planet where the gravity is only 1 10 \frac1{10} of that on Earth. Then, what will be your mass on that planet?

See Part 1 and Part 2 .

10 x 10x x 10 \frac { x }{ 10 } C a n n o t b e d e t e r m i n e d Cannot\quad be\quad determined x x

Mass is always constant, unlike weight which will change according to gravitational force.

Mass is independent of gravity. It is the nature of matter to have a mass Therefore even in the other planet the mass of yours is x kg.
