19. The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6 of that on Earth. The weight of a 10 kg
mass on the Moon is
A. 98 N
B. 60 N
C. 16 N
D. 1.7 N
(For this question I divided 9.81 by 6 and the multiplyed this by 10)
Is this the correct way to do it ?

Yes,
You work out what a 10kg mass would weigh on Earth = 10 * 9.8N
and divide by 6 for the moon
