Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

g = 9.8 m/s²

g₁ = g / 6 = 9.8 / 6 ≈ 1.6 m/s²

F = 115 N

____________

m - ?

m = F / g₁

m = 115 / 1,6 ≈ 71.9 kg

Answer:

70.3 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The MASS will be the same on the moon as on earth....but the eight is different

gravity of moon = gravity of earth/6 = 9.81 / 6 m/s^2

F = ma

F/a = m = 115 N / ( 9.81/6 m/s^2) = 70.3 kg mass
