Answer:
Wieght on earth = 600N
Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to Gravity
So, Mass on Earth = Weight on earth ÷ Acceleration due to gravity
gravitational acceleration (field strength) on the Earth surface = 9.8 N/kg
Mass on earth = 600÷ 9.8 = 61.22kg
Mass is a absolute quantity. It is independent of gravity. So mass of an object on moon is always equal to mass of an object on earth.
Mass on moon = 61.22kg
Note -
Remember one thing. mass of object is same on moon and earth but weight will not be same.
Weight of object on moon will be 1/6 th as on earth. Because gravity of moon is 1/6 th as of earth.
