Weight of an object on the moon = $\frac{1}6$   × Weight of an object on the Earth Also, Weight = Mass × Acceleration Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8  $m/s^2$ Therefore, weight of a 10 kg object on the Earth = 10 × 9.8 = 98 N  And, weight of the same object on the moon = $\frac{1}6$   ×98 =16.3 N
