If the mass of the object is m then let it's weight on moon be Wm. Mass of the moon be Mm and its radius Rm.
According to universal law of gravity,
Wm=GMm×m/Rm^2
In earth the weight of the body is
We=GM×m/R^2
Wm/We=0.165=1/6
Wm=1/6×We
According to universal law of gravity,
Wm=GMm×m/Rm^2
In earth the weight of the body is
We=GM×m/R^2
Wm/We=0.165=1/6
Wm=1/6×We
