Detailed Solution

We know the mass of the boy
m=50kg 
First, let's calculate his weight on the earth which is given by:
We= mg
Substituting the values,
we=50×9.8=490N
We know that the gravitational pull of the moon is 6 times weaker than the gravitational pull of the earth. Therefore, the weight of the boy on the moon will be 1/6th of the weight on the earth.

wm=we6

Wm=4906

wm=81.6N
