Mass
- Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body and is the measure of its inertia.
- It's value remain constant at all places.
- It is a scalar quantity.
- It is measured by a pan balance.
- Mass of a body is never zero.
- It's unit is kg.
Weight
- Weight of a body is the force with which a body is attracted towards the centre of the earth.
- It's value ( W = mg) changes from place to place due to the change in the value of acceleration due to gravity 'g'.
- It is measured by a spring balance.
- It is a vector quantity.
- Weight of a body is zero at the centre of the earth because there 'g' becomes zero.
- It's unit is newton.
