Give reason : The mass of a body is more fundamental property than its weight.

Answer»
  • Mass is an inherent property of matter and is the measure of the quantity of matter of a body.
  • The mass of a body does not vary with respect to its position.
  • On the other hand, the weight of a body is a result of the mass and gravitational attraction
  • Weight varies because the gravitational attraction of the earth for a body varies with the distance from the centre of the earth.

Hence,

The mass of a body is more fundamental property than its weight.
