Here's a question from my homework that I have no idea where to even beging with it.
A European "weighs" 100 kg on Earth.
a. What is his mass on Earth?
b. What is his weight on Earth?
c. What is his mass on the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that of the Earth?
d. What is his weight on the moon?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "mass weight" to get these possible sources:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mass.html
http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/weightvmass.html
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Gene_Nygaard/weight.htm#toc1
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/k-6connection/Mass,w,d.htm

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
