Question

The weight of a freely falling body under gravity of mass 500 gm is given by ?

• A. $490000dyne$
• B. $0dyne$
• C. $49N$
• D. $98N$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$0dyne$

The apparent weight of a freely falling body is zero when a body falls freely, it is falling with an acceleration equal to g, thus entire gravitational force acting on it is utilizes in accelerating it and hence its weight is zero.

Hence option B is correct.
