Detailed Solution

A person weighing W kg-wt on Earth will weigh W6 kg-wt on the moon
We know that the body’s weight is given by We= mg.                                                                                                            So, We=mg.                                                                                                                                                          The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 16  that of the Earth.                                                                                                                         Hence, Wm= m ×g6
         Wm= We6
