Solution :
Pre requisite knowledge : Concept of weight and mass.
Weight refers to the force acting on an object due to gravity .
Mass is the magnitude of resistance offered by a body to a change in its speed and / or position .
For a certain body , the mass remains constant while the weight can vary.
Here , it is mentioned that the man weighs 600N on earth .
This is his weight on earth.
Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity .
Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 10 m/s² approximately.
> 600 = 60 m
> m = 60kg .
Now , for the man on the surface of the moon :
Mass remains constant , 60 kg.
Weight on moon :
> mass × Acceleration dtg on moon
> m × g/6
> 600/6
> 100 N .
Answer :
His mass on the surface of the moon is 60 kg.
His weight on the surface of the moon is 100N .
