Hey mate!
Here's your answer!!
Given, weight on earth = 600 N
Since, W = mg
As, acceleration due to gravity (g)
on earth ≈ 10 m/s2
So, 600 = m X 10
m = 60 kg
On moon weight of the man, W' = 100 N
Mass of the man will remain same on moon as that of the earth = 60 kg

Answer:
Weight on moon = 97.2 N
Weight - 60 Kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to note:
1) Mass of an object remains constant anywhere.
2) Weight of an object varies depending on the gravitational acceleration of the surface.
Important constants are as follows:
Gravitational constant on moon = 1.62 m/s²
Gravitational constant on earth = 10 m/s²
Force = Mass × acceleration
Now :
600 = 10 × m
m = 600/10 = 60 kg
The weight of the man on moon is givn as :
Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration on moon.
Weight on moon = 1.62 × 60 = 97.2
= 97.2 N
