Question

Two physics concept questions:

Two balls are balanced on a scale on earth. Ball A is bigger than Ball B. These balls are placed on a sensitive scale on the moon where there is essentially no air. Which way will the scale tip?
A. Towards A
B. Stay balanced or
C. Towards B

And...

Two balls have exactly the same mass. Ball A is bigger than Ball B (but they still have the same mass.) These balls are placed on a sensitive scale on the moon where there is essentiall no air. Which way will the scale tip?
A. Towards A
B. Neither
C. Towards B

Thanks in advance :)

Explanation / Answer

1 - remains balanced (as the the factor by with weight will change will be applicable on both balls i.e. weight of both will become 1/6th of original )

2 - neither (same reason as above)
