Question

Give the relation between the mass and the weight of a body.

Answer 1

Relation between the mass and the weight of a body:

1. An object's mass is a measurement of its inertial property or the quantity of matter it contains.
2. The weight of a thing is a measure of gravity's force on it, or the force required to support it.
3. An object's downward acceleration is 9.8 ${\mathrm{ms}}^{-2}$ due to gravity's attraction to the earth.
4. The relation between mass and weight of a body is given by the following equation:

$\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{mg}$

Where,

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = weight of a body
