Detailed Solution

The weight of an object on the moon is 16 of its weight on the earth.
Let the mass of a body be m and the acceleration due to gravity on earth’s surface be g.
Then the weight of the body on the earth surface is
W=mg
Now, we know that the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 16g and the mass remains constant in the entire universe, so the weight of that body on the moon is
W'=16mg.
Therefore, the weight of an object on the moon is 16 of its weight on the earth.
