Find the weight of an $80\, kg$ man on the surface of the moon. What would be his mass on the Earth and on the moon? $(g_{e} = 9.8\, m s^{-2}, g_{m} = 1.63\, m s^{-2})$

(N/A) Given: Mass of the man $M = 80\, kg$,$g_{e} = 9.8\, m s^{-2}$,$g_{m} = 1.63\, m s^{-2}$.
Weight is calculated using the formula $W = m \times g$.
Weight on the moon $(W_{m})$ = $M \times g_{m} = 80 \times 1.63 = 130.40\, N$.
Mass is a fundamental property of an object and remains constant regardless of the location.
Therefore,the mass of the man on the Earth is $80\, kg$ and on the moon is also $80\, kg$.
