Solution

Dear Student,
mass is the quantity of matter which a body contains in itself.It is constant everywhere.
Weight is the force with which we are attracted towards the center of Earth.
weight= mass x acceleration due to gravity
As mass is constant everywhere so mass on the moon will be 20kg.
Weight on moon= 20 x 1.6 = 32 N
Regards
