Answer:

[tex]g=1.66\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the person, m = 60 kg

Weight of the person on Moon, W = 100 N

The weight of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. It is given by :

W = m g

g is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

[tex]g=\dfrac{W}{m}[/tex]

[tex]g=\dfrac{100\ N}{60\ kg}[/tex]

[tex]g=1.66\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is [tex]1.66\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
