Mass doesn't change. The astronaut's mass would remain 60kg on Mars.
Weight can be expressed as the force of an object due to gravity. Newton's second law described force being equal to mass x acceleration. Changing these terms to show weight (W) as force (measured in Newtons N), and acceleration as gravity (g), we can use the equation weight = mass x gravity, W=ma = (60kg)(3.7m/s^2)= 222 N
