Weight = Mass * gravity
600 N = Mass *9.8 m/s² [Taking g = 9.8 m/s²]
Mass = 600/9.8 = 61.22 kg (approximately)
Mass of the man = 61.22 kg
Given gravity on the moon = 1/6 of gravity on the earth
Therefore
Gravity on the moon = 1/6*9.8
= 1.63 m/s²
Weight of man on the moon = Mass of the man*Gravity on the moon
= 61.22*1.63
= 99.99 N (approximately)
= 100 N (nearly)
Hope this helps you.
