Answer:

On the earth surface ,W= 4200 J

On the moon surface ,W= 672 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the man ,m = 70 kg

Height of the stairway ,h= 6 m

On the earth surface :

We know that acceleration due to gravity at earth ,g= 10 m/s²

The work done by man is given as

W= m g h

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

W= 70 x 10 x 6 J

W=4200 J

On the moon surface :

The gravity on the moon ,g= 1.6 m/s²

The work done W

W= 70 x 1.6 x 6 J

W=672 J

On the earth surface ,W= 4200 J

On the moon surface ,W= 672 J
