Explanation:

The mass of the man would remain the same…

His weight would change. Assuming the man’s weight on earth is 60N.

Since weight is a force, according to Newton’s second law, F = ma ( m = mass, a = acceleration due to gravity) First lets find the mass of the man, as it is required to find his weight on the moon.

F=ma[taking a of earth as10m/s

]

60=m.10[divide10onbothsides]

m=

10

60

= 6 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is83%less than the acceleration due to gravity on earth(1.622m/s

).

F=ma

F=6.1.622=9.732 N

So a person weighting 60N on earth would approximately weight around 10Non the moon.
