Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object’s mass, which is how much matter the object contains. Weight can be represented by the equation: F = m × 9.8 m/s2. F represents the object’s weight in Newtons (N), which is the SI unit for weight.
