Question

Weight of a body is a scalar quantity. True or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Weight of a body is nothing but the force of attraction exerted by the earth on a body.

Now as we know that the force is a vector quantity, so weight is also a vector quantity with a magnitude and direction towards the centre of the earth.

Hence the given statement is $False$ and correct option is $B$
