Which is greater mass or weight ( in earth)
Solution :
We know that, the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on earth is 9.8 m/s2
Suppose, a body has mass of 10 kg then the weight of that body on the earth is
W = m × g
W = 10 × 9.8
W = 98 N
Hence, the weight of a body is always 9.8 times greater than the mass of the body on earth.
