Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 10 N
B. 60 N
C. 100 N
D. 16.7 N
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.

Question #3
Diamagnetic material susceptibility χ is:
A. Large positive
B. Small positive
C. Large negative
D. Small negative

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diamagnets: χ ≈ -10⁻⁵ (small negative), weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Paramagnets: small +χ; Ferromagnets: large +χ. Memory tip: 'Diamagnetic: χ < 0, weak repulsion'. Magnetism classification frequently tested in competitive exams.
