given
man weights 300 N on earth 50 N on moon
g=10 m/s^2
weight = mass * g
w=m*g
mass on earth
m=w/g
m=300/10
m=30 kg
a very important point to be noted is that mass of an object dosen't depend on the planet it is kept
weight varies from planet to planet because g varies from planet to planet
mass never changes no matter whatever planet it may be it always remain constant
so the mass of the man on moon will be also 30 kg
