Question

The mass is constant whereas the weight varies from place to place.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Mass of an object is a constant quantity because the mass of an object is defined as the quantity of matter contained in it.
2. The weight of a body is the force with which the earth attracts the body towards its centre.
3. It is the measure of gravitational pull on the body and hence it varies with the gravitational pull.
4. As the weight of an object is due to the gravitational pull of the earth which changes its value from place to place, the weight of an object is also not a constant quantity.
5. $Weight\left(w\right)=Mass\left(m\right)\times Gravitationalaccelaration\left(g\right)$

Hence, the given statement is true.
