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.

If an object weighs 300 newtons on Earth how much would it weigh on the moon?
To find an object's weight on the Moon, you can use the fact that the Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. If an object weighs 300 newtons on Earth, its weight on the Moon would be approximately 300 newtons ÷ 6, which equals 50 newtons. Therefore, the object would weigh about 50 newtons on the Moon.
If a space colonist weighs 800.15 newtons on earth what would the colonist weigh on the moon?
The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth. Therefore, the colonist would weigh 800.15 newtons / 6 ≈ 133.36 newtons 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.
If a colonist weighs 800.15 newtons on earth what would a colonist weigh on the moon?
180 pounds
If someone weighs 450 newtons and about 100 pounds on earth how much would they weigh on the moon?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, if someone weighs 100 pounds on Earth, they would weigh approximately 16.7 pounds on the moon.

Does a 20kg object have the same weight on earth as it does the moon?
No. On Earth, each kilogram weighs about 9.8 newtons. On the Moon, the weight of each kilogram is about 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
On earth what is the weight of a large TV that has a mass of 85 kg?
On earth, any mass of 85 kg weighs 833 newtons (187.4 pounds). On the moon, the same mass weighs 136 newtons (30.6 pounds)

If someone weighs 450 newtons and about 100 pounds on earth how much would they weigh on the moon?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, if someone weighs 100 pounds on Earth, they would weigh approximately 16.7 pounds on the moon.
What is the weight of a 3kg chicken on the moon?
3 kg of mass weighs about 4.8 newtons (1.074 pounds) when it's on the moon.While it's still on the earth, it weighs 29.4 newtons (6.61 pounds).Note that it's always 3 kg of mass, no matter where it goes.
How hard does gravity pull on 1 kg on the moon?
1 kg of mass weighs 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds) on Earth, and 1.62 newtons (5.84 ounces) on the moon. (All of these figures are rounded.)
