Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force.
* Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.

A 10 pound rock and a 1 pound rock are dropped simultaneously from the moon which would land first and why?
Mass doesn't change. The mass of the object would still be 10KG. The WEIGHT of the object would be about 1/6th as much, because the gravity on the Moon is only about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. But the MASS doesn't change.
