George would weigh

65 kg Ă— 1.6N /kg = 104 Newtons

That's compared to around 650 Newtons on earth.

Answer: Weight of George on Moon =104 N

Explanation:

Given : George has a mass of 65 kg.

The gravitational field strength on the Moon is 1.6N/kg.

Then, the weight of George on Moon = George's Mass x Gravitational field strength

=
65*1.6=104\text{ Newtons}

Hence, the weight of George on Moon =104 N
