Explanation:

the weight of an object is its force exerted by gravity.

on earth we take gravitational acceleration to be 9.8 m/s^2

so the weight of an object on earth is given by F = mg

hence,

F = 90 × 9.8

F = 882 Newtons (weight on earth)

gravitational acceleration on the moon is equal to 9.8/6. so, we can just use the same formula to find the weight on the moon.

F = 90 × 9.8/6

F = 147 Newtons (weight on the moon)

make sure to ask if you need any further guidance.

W=m*g
W=90*9.8=882N (Earth)
W=90*(9.8/6)=147N (Moon)
Hope this helps
