Given,
Weight of man on earth W1 = 1200 N Weight of man on moon W2 = 200 N
Gravitational acceleration of earth = 10 m/s2
Now, W = mg Or m = W/g
= 120 kg So,
mass on moon will be 120 kg as it is constant everywhere
so mass of man on moon = 120 kg

Answer:
Given,
Weight of man on earth W1 = 1200 N
Weight of man on moon W2 = 200 N
Gravitational acceleration of earth = 10 m/s²
Now, W = mg Or m = w/g
= 120 kg so,
mass on moon will be 120 kg as it is constant everywhere
so mass of a man on moon = 120 kg
w = mg
200 = 120 × g
g = 200/120
g = 10/5 = 5/3
g = 1.66ms–²
