To find the weight of the sugar bag in Newtons on the Moon, we can go through the following steps:

Step 1: Convert Weight on Earth from Pounds to Newtons

1. A weight of 1.00 lb on Earth is equivalent to a force in Newtons, since weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.

   To convert from pounds to Newtons: $1 \text{ lb} = 4.448 \text{ N}$ So, the weight of the sugar bag on Earth is: $1.00 \, \text{lb} \times 4.448 \, \text{N/lb} = 4.448 \, \text{N}$

Step 2: Calculate the Weight on the Moon

2. On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is one-sixth of that on Earth. Therefore, the weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is also one-sixth of its weight on Earth.

   $\text{Weight on Moon} = \frac{4.448 \, \text{N}}{6} = 0.7413 \, \text{N}$

Answer

The weight of the 1.00 lb sugar bag on the Moon would be approximately: $0.741 \, \text{N}$
