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.
