Given, mass, m = 30 kg
Acceleration due to gravity on moon, gm = (1/6)g = 10/6 = 5/3 m/s2
Acceleration due to gravity on planet, gp = 3g = 30 m/s2
Now,
Weight on moon = mgm = (30)(5/3) = 50 N
Weight on planet = mgp = (30)(30) = 900 N
Acceleration due to gravity on moon, gm = (1/6)g = 10/6 = 5/3 m/s2
Acceleration due to gravity on planet, gp = 3g = 30 m/s2
Now,
Weight on moon = mgm = (30)(5/3) = 50 N
Weight on planet = mgp = (30)(30) = 900 N
