    (a) 61.25 N

    (b) 6.25 kg

    (c) 6.25 Kg

    Explanation:

    Weight on moon = 10 N

    Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

    Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

    Let m be the mass of the package.

    (a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

    Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

    (b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

    10 = m x 1.6

    m = 6.25 kg

    (c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.
