Given

Tom weighs 830 N here on Earth

Suit has a mass of 50 kg

g = 9.81 m/s2

gm = 1.67 m/s2

Procedure

First let's calculate Tom's mass with the help of the earth's acceleration.

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=mg \\ m=\frac{W}{g} \\ m=\frac{830N}{9.81m/s^2} \\ m=84.60kg \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now let's calculate Tom's weight on the moon as the sum of his weight plus the weight of his suit.

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=(84.6+50)\cdot1.67 \\ W=224.8N \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer would be 224 N
