Answer:

The mass of ball C is greater than the mass of ball A but less than the mass of ball B.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's second law, net force = mass × acceleration.

Using the data for ball B, the acceleration of gravity near the surface of the moon is:

∑F = ma

9.6 N = (6 kg) a

a = 1.6 m/s²

Therefore, the mass of ball C is:

∑F = ma

6.6 N = m (1.6 m/s²)

m = 4.1 kg
