Question

Relation between mass (m) of a body and its weight, (w) is:
(g is the acceleration due to gravity)

• A. w = mg
• B. $w=\frac{m}{g}$
• C. g = m - w
• D. w = m + g

Answer 1

The correct option is A w = mg

Weight w is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass.
While mass m is the measure of how much matter is present in the object.
Weight is given by w = mg
where, g = acceleration due to gravity.
