Detailed Solution

A person weighing

W kg - wt

on Earth will weigh

\frac{W}{6} kg - wt

on the moon
We know that the body’s weight is given by

W_{e} = mg

. So,

W_{e} = mg

. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is

\frac{1}{6}

that of the Earth. Hence,

W_{m} = m \times \frac{g}{6}

\Rightarrow

W_{m} = \frac{W_{e}}{6}
