Hey There!!
Here, we are given that the Mass of body = m = 60 kg
Its weight on Earth will be = mg = 60*9.8 = 588 N
Mass of a body remains constant everywhere.
So, Mass of body on moon = m = 60 kg.
However, gravitational acceleration on moon is approximately one-sixth that of Earth.So, Weight will be reduced 6 times.
So, Weight of body on moon = 588/6 = 98 N
Hope it helps
