Detailed Solution

Its mass on the moon will be 30 kg.
Given data and assumptions:
Weight of the object on the earth We=294 N
Let the mass of the object on the earth, =me
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth, ge=9.8 m/s2
We know,  We=me×ge
294 N  =me× 9.8
        me=2949.8
        me=30 kg
Thus, mass of the object on the earth is 30 kg. We know that the mass of a body remains constant everywhere in the universe. So, the mass of the object on the surface of moon will be 30 kg.
