Solution

Given
The weight of an object on the earth = 300 N.
Required to find
The weight of the object on the surface of the moon
Solution
Let the weight of the object on the surface of the earth is $W_{e}$ and the weight of the object on the surface of the moon be $W_{m}$ .
We know that the weight of an object is 1/6th of the weight of the same object on the surface of the earth.
$W_{m} = \frac{W_{e}}{6}$
$\Rightarrow W_{m} = \frac{300 N}{6} = 50 N$
Hence, the weight of the object on the surface of the moon is 50 N.
