Answer:

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity

m = Mass = 10 kg

Weight on Earth

[tex]W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=10\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=98.1\ N[/tex]

Converting to lbf

[tex]98.1\times 0.22481=22.053861\ lbf[/tex]

On Moon

[tex]W=10\times 1.624\\\Rightarrow W=16.24\ N[/tex]

Converting to lbf

[tex]16.24\times 0.22481=3.6509144\ lbf[/tex]

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf
