Detailed explanation-1: -The most common definition of weight found in introductory physics textbooks defines weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity. This is often expressed in the formula W = mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Weight is the force exerted on a body by gravity. It is expressed as W=mg, where m is the mass of the body and g= gravity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weight is the Gravitational force with which the Earth attracts the masses towards its center. Gravity is related to the resultant force with which a mass is attracted to Earth. So, this happens only between Earth and a mass, unlike gravitational force which occurs between any two masses.
Detailed explanation-4: -On Earth, the weight of the body (like any other object) is given by Newton’s laws as mass times gravitational acceleration (w = m * g). That is, the weight of an object is determined by the pull of gravity on it.
Detailed explanation-5: -A physical balance can be used to measure both mass and weight of an object.
