    The astronaut will weigh 204.5N on the Moon

    Explanation:

    Weight, w = m*g

    where;

    m is the mass of the astronaut in kg

    g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s² on Earth and 1.67 m/s² on the moon)

    Given w = 1200N

    m = w/g

    m = 1200/9.8

    m = 122.4489 kg

    Thus, mass of the astronaut is 122.4489kg

    weight of the astronaut on the moon = 122.4489*1.67 = 204.5N

    Therefore, the astronaut will weigh 204.5N on the Moon
