If mass of an object be 3 kg , then its weight on earth is = 3 × 9 . 8 N . Can you say what will be its weight on the moon?

Given that, Mass of the object is m = 3 kg Acceleration due to gravity on the earth is g = 9 . 8 m s - 2 Weight on earth W e = 3 × 9 . 8 = 29 . 4 N We know that, Weight W = m g Acceleration due to gravity on moon is g m = g 6 Therefore, Weight on the moon W m = 3 × 9 . 8 6 = 4 . 9 N
