Answer: The instrument weigh 204 ounces on Earth.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Instrument weighed on the moon = 34 pounds

As we know that

The force of gravity on Earth is 6 times greater than on the moon.

So, the weight of instrument on the earth is 6 times the weight on the moon.

Mathematically, it is expressed as


6* 34\\\\=204\ ounces

Hence, the instrument weigh 204 ounces on Earth.
