AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the mass and weight of a body on the moon given its mass on Earth and the gravitational acceleration on both celestial bodies. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Mass of the body (m) = 10 kg - Gravitational acceleration on Earth (g₁) = 9.8 m/s² - Gravitational acceleration on the Moon (g₂) = 1.6 m/s² ...
