Answer:

Weight of a 35kg object on Earth is 350N, while it is 56N on the Moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion of mass (kg) to weight (N) on Earth is 1kg to 10N.
Thus, the weight of a 35kg mass on Earth is
35kg × 10 = 350N

On the Moon, conversion of mass to weight is 1kg to 1.6N.
Thus, the weight of a 35kg mass on the Moon is
35kg × 1.6 = 56N


Remember, mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight depends on the strength of the gravitational field.
