If your weight is 160 pounds and your mass is 16.3 kilograms, what would those values be if you were on the moon? The gravitational force on the moon is 1/6 the gravitational force on Earth.

Answer 1

Let w_e be your weight on earth, 160 lbs and w_m represent your weight on the moon.

w_m = w_e/6

w_m = 160/6

w_m = 26.667 lbs

So, your weight on the moon is 26.667 pounds.

Mass is constant regardless of gravitational force, so your mass remains 16.3 kg on the moon (or anywhere else you go, for that matter).
