Question

The mass of a body is can be zero whereas the weight of a body can never be zero. True or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The given statement is false.

The gravitational force acting on a body is not uniform and if a body when placed in an elevator will act as a free fall and the weight on a weighing machine will show zero. Hence weight of body can be zero.

Whereas on the other hand mass cannot be zero because mass is an intrinsic property and hence it depends upon the object alone and not on other factors.Thus mass of a body cannot be zero.
