Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 1 6 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?

We know that,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s2

Therefore, weight of a 10 kg object on earth =10×9.8=98N

Weight of an object on the moon = ⅙ ×Weight of the object

on earth=1/6 ×98=16.3 N
