since gravity in moon is (1/6)of the  earth′s  ∴⇒10/6=5/3 ms^(−2)
$$\mathrm{since}\:\mathrm{gravity}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{moon}\:\mathrm{is}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{6}}\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{earth}'\mathrm{s} \\ $$$$\therefore\Rightarrow\mathrm{10}/\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{5}/\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{ms}^{−\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
