mass does not change
weight is about 1/6 of that on earth. Check online for exact value if it matters.

Mass will always remain constant no matter the gravitational acceleration, so its mass will still be 75 kg on the moon.
For weight, we use a force calculation (F=ma) and get an answer in newtons (N).
m = 75 kg,
a = 1.62 m/s² (on the moon),
F = ?
F = ma
F = (75 kg)(1.62 m/s²)
F = 121.5 N
So, it's weight on the moon is about 120 N.
