please answer the question

Explanation:
Everyone knows that gravity is 1/6 as strong on the moon so you just divide 50kg by 6 and get 8.33 kg, right? Not so fast. (Not trying to be a pedantic a-hole - if you’re in a HS or college physics class, then your teacher will bust you for not knowing the difference.)
Kilograms are a unit of mass; Newtons are a unit of force and thus weight, because weight is the normal force you exert on the earth’s surface.
If your mass is 50kg, then your weight on the surface of the earth is 490N. If you move to the moon, your mass is STILL 50kg, but your weight falls to about 1/6 of that or ~82N.

Answer:
490N
Explanation:
The weight of an object on earth is defined as the mass of object multiply by the acceleration due to gravity.
W = mg
Here, m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Given, m = 50 kg and
Substitute the given values, we get
W = 490 N.
Thus, the weight of the man on the Earth is 490 N.
