Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which object has the greatest weight?
A
an object of mass 10 kg in a 15 N/ kg gravitational field
B
an object of mass 15 kg in a 13 N/ kg gravitational field
C
an object of mass 20 kg in a 9.0 N/ kg gravitational field
D
an object of mass 50 kg in a 3.0 N/ kg gravitational field
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, 2nd object which is of mass 15kg and gravitational field strength of 13N/kg has the greatest weight among all the 4 objects.

Detailed explanation-2: -The weight of a body of mass 15 kg on the moon is 24. 5 N.

Detailed explanation-3: -The weight of a body placed at the centre of the earth is zero. This is because the mass at the exact cenrte of the earth is zero.

Detailed explanation-4: -Weight, W = m x g = 10 x 9.8 =98 N.
