A spring balance can withstand a weight of $ 980 \mathrm{~N} $ on earth without getting deformed. What should be the maximum mass of a body that can be weighed using this spring balance on the moon?
The weight which the spring balance can weigh without getting deformed is $980\ N$.
Let $m$ be the maximum mass of the body which a spring balance can weigh without getting deformed.
Here weight $W=980\ N$
Gravitational acceleration on moon $g=1.6\ m/s^2$
Mass $m=?$
We know $W=mg$
Or $m\times1.6=980\ N$
Or $m=\frac{980}{1.6}$
Or $m=612.5\ kg$
The maximum mass of a body that can be weighed using this spring balance on the moon should be $612.5\ kg.$
