Answer:
60 kilograms
The weight is directly proportional to the gravitational force of any area. The gravitational force on moon is one sixth of the gravitational force on earth. Hence if a body is weighting 10 kilo on moon, its weight on the earth will be 60 kilograms.
Answer:
60kg
Explanation:
Weight on moon = 1/6th weight on earth or (weight on Earth will be 6 times the weight on moon because earths gravitational pull is 6 times that on moon.)
10kg=1/6th weight on earth
therefore weight on earth=6*10=60kg
Hope this helps:)
