Detailed Solution

Given,
Weight of the rock on the moon, Wm=200.6 N
Acceleration due to  gravity on the surface of the earth, gm=9.8 m/s2
Acceleration due to  gravity on the surface of the moon, gm=1.7 m/s2

We know, 
Weight, W=m×g
  m=Wg

  m=Wmgm
 m=200.61.7
 m=118 kg

The mass of an object is constant and does not change from place to place.

Hence, the mass of the rock on the earth = mass of the rock on the moon = 118 kg
