if you want the answer in pounds then it is 2.2 pounds.
60 newtons = 13.4885 lbs on earth
13.4885 lbs on earth = 2.2 lbs on the moon.
if you want the answer in newtons then do the reverse of what i wrote above. work backwards.
A rock sample weight 60N on earth. what would be the weight of the same rock on moon?

g on the moon = 1/6 g on earth:
1/6 * 60N = 10 N. = Wt. on the moon.
Or
M*g = 60 N.
M*9.8 = 60.
M = 6.122 kg.
g = 9.8/6 = 1.633 m/s^2. on moon.
M*g = 6.122 * 1.633 = 10 N.
1/6 * 60N = 10 N. = Wt. on the moon.
Or
M*g = 60 N.
M*9.8 = 60.
M = 6.122 kg.
g = 9.8/6 = 1.633 m/s^2. on moon.
M*g = 6.122 * 1.633 = 10 N.
