Question

The weight of an object is not a constant quantity give reason

Answer 1

Answer:

weight is (mass x g) where g is gravitational constans

g is the force between two masses

F=mg=G.(m1*m2)/$r^{2}$

g=G.m/$r^{2}$

G is newtons universal gravitational constant=$6.67300 × 10^(-11) Nm^2/kg^2$

G is contant in universe

and g is 9.8m/$s^{2}$

hece g depends on radius from the centre of earth or distance between masses ang value of mass so it is variable. so weigt is measured different at differt locations due to value of g.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the gravitational force on it and mass is the amount of matter in the body. Thus, weight is dependent on gravitational acceleration, g but mass does not depend on the value of g.

Hence, weight of a body will change from one place to another place because the value of g is different in different places. For example, the value of g on moon is 1/6 times of the value of g on earth. As mass is independent of g , so it will not change from place to place.
