What are the differences between the mass of an object and its weight?

Solution

Differences between mass and weight:

Mass

Weight

1. Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body and is the measure of its inertia.

2. Its value remains constant at all places.

3. It is a scalar quantity.

4. It is measured by a pan balance.

5. Mass of a body is never zero.

6. Its unit is kg.

1. Weight of a body is the force with which a body is attracted towards the centre of the earth.

2. Its value (W = mg) changes from place to place due to the change in the value of acceleration due to gravity ‘g’.

3. It is a vector quantity.

4. It is measured by a spring balance.

5. Weight of a body is zero at the centre of the earth because there ‘g’ becomes zero.

6. Its unit is newton or kg-wt.
