Expert Answer
Weight of on object = W = mg
Where g = acceleration due to gravity
The value of g varies from plae to place.
In order to calculate weight on earth we substitute 9.86 m/s^2 in the formula.
After substituting all the values, value of g on the surface of the moon approximately comes out to be,
g = 1.63 m/s2
This value is approximately 1/6th of value of g of earth.
Therefore the weight of an object on moon is one - sixth of the weight of the same object on earth.
