Answer:

120N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity (on the planet)

Mass of an astronaut is 75kg and value of acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.6m/s2

Weight of astronaut on moon=mass of astronaut x value of acceleration due to gravity on moon

75kg x 1.6m/s2

=120N
