Answer:

25 (kg) and 40.5 (N).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the value of 'g' on the Earth is ~9.81 (N/kg), the value of 'g' on the Moon is ~1.62 (N/kg).

It means, the mass is not depended on the value of 'g', but the weight is depended on it.

2) the mass on the Moon is the same, 25 kg.

the weight is 25*1.62=40.5 N
