Given, 

ge=g and gm=g6

ge = earth's gravity ; gm  = moon's gravity; g= acceleration due to gravity

Force applied to lift a mass of 15 kg at the earth

 F = mge= 15 ge

If he can lift a certain mass ‘m’ by applying the same force on the moon, then

F = mgm

m = Fgm=15gegm=15 g9/6= 90 kg


 m= 90kg

The person will be able to lift a weight of 90 kg on the moon.
