AI Generated Solution

To find the weight of a man on the Moon given that he weighs 600 N on Earth and that the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6th of that on Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between weight and mass Weight (W) is given by the formula: \[ W = M \cdot g \] where \( M \) is the mass and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Identify the weight on Earth ...
