If something on earth weighs 100 newtons what is that on the moon?

Since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of the gravity on earth, a body that exerts the force of 100 newtons on the earth surface would exert 1/6 of that force when on the surface of the moon, or approximately 16.7 Newtons.
You may ask "Why?".
Look at the equation of Force:
Force = mass x acceleration
F=m.a
The mass remains the same in both cases (moon surface or earth surface). The acceleration is the only parameter that changes. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 6 times the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon.
Hope that helps.

∙ 13y agoThe moon is 1/6 the gravity of Earth. 600N/6=100N

More precisely, an object that weighs 600N on the Earth will have a mass of about 61 kilograms. On the moon, that same object will still have a mass of 61 kilograms but, due to the smaller mass of the moon, its weight will be around 100N. Don't confuse mass and weight - they are two different things - that 61 kilogram object will require the same amount of force to accelerate it (f=ma) at the same rate no matter where you are.

What would an object that has a mass of 74kg weigh on the moon?
74 kg of mass weighs 120.1 newtons (27 pounds) on the moon, and the same 74 kg weighs 726 newtons (163 pounds) on Earth.
If a colonist weighs 800.15 newtons on earth what would a colonist weigh on the moon?

How much does a person who weight 360 newtons on earth weight on the moon if the moon has onesixth the gravity of earth?
The Gravity on the Moon is much weaker than the Gravity on Earth, the Moon's gravity is about 1/6 of the Gravity on Earth. So for example: An Object that weighs 690 N on Earth will weigh 115 N on the moon. In order to get your answer, just divide any number by 6 and you will get your answer. Answer: 360 N on Earth will result as 60 N on the moon.
