Question

If the gravitational force of earth suddenly disappears, then which of the following is correct?

• A. weight of the body is zero
• B. mass of the body is zero
• C. both mass and weight become zero
• D. neither the weight nor the mass is zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A weight of the body is zero

Mass = $m$

Acceleration due to gravity = $g$
Weight of a body is given by, $\left(W\right)=m\times g$
When gravitational force disappears $g$ becomes zero, but the mass remains the same.
So, $W=m\times g=m\times 0$
Hence, $W=0$
Correct option will be $\left(A\right)$
