Hi Arjun Shyam,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

$$\begin{gathered} Mass of the man=60 kg \\ Weight on the earth , W = mg \\ g is acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s^2 \\ So , \\ W = 60\times 9.8 =588 N \\ Value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon, g\text{'} = g/6 \\ g\text{'}=9.8 /6=1.633 m/s^2 \\ Weight on the earth,W\text{'}=mg\text{'}= 60\times 1.633 =97.98 N \end{gathered}$$
