    A) 6N

    Explanation:

    the weight of the astronaut on earth can be calculated with the formula

    Weight = mass * gravity of earth

    Since the gravitational force is one-hundredth of Earth, the formula should be

    Weight = mass * (gravity of earth / 100)

    Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

    Since you already know the weight, you only need to divide by 100

    Weight = (mass * gravity of earth) / 100

    Weight = 600N / 100

    Weight = 6N
