Answer:
A mass of 60kg on Earth will exert a downwards force (its 'weight') of 60 x 9.8 = 588N. A mass of 60kg on the Moon will still be 60Kg as mass is independent of gravity, but will 'weigh' about 60 x 1.3 = 78N. The Moon's gravity (its gravitational constant) is about 1/6th that of the Earth's.
