Problem

On the Moon the acceleration due to gravity is about 1.6 m s−21.6\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. A rock sample shows a weight of 3.2 N3.2\,\text{N} on the Moon. If the sample occupies a volume of 200 cm3200\,\text{cm}^3, find its density. (a) 1.6×104 kg m−31.6\times 10^{4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} (b) 1.6×103 kg m−31.6\times 10^{3}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} (c) 1.0×104 kg m−31.0\times 10^{4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} (d) 2.56×104 kg m−32.56\times 10^{4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}
