Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?
The mass will remain the same, but the weight will be one sixth of what it was on earth, since weight depends on the local force of gravity. The moons gravity is one sixth of the earths.
How does gravity affect weight but not mass?
Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so you can change gravity and the mass would not be affected. You can change gravity by leaving Earth, or by having additional G forces applied to you, such as when you speedily whip around a corner in your car. There is no other way to change your weight besides changing gravity without affecting mass, as those are the only two variables used when solving for gravity.
What would be the effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the moon?
The mass stays the same, the weight is about one sixth as here on Earth. The astronauts had to learn how to move there... it's harder getting stopped and doing corners, as you don't have the weight and traction you are used to.
Why would your weight change if you orbited earth in a space shuttle but mass would not?
mass is the actual amount of matter weight is just how much mass it appears to with your body

What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?
In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.
Weight of a freely falling body?
If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.
Where does body have least weight?
arms.
Where on the earth would the weight of body be zero why?
on the centre of the earth.
The attraction or pull of a persons body toward the Earth by the earth is called weight The reaction to this force is the?
Both forces can be called "weight".The gravitational force that attracts a person's body toward earth is calledthe person's weight on the earth.The gravitational force that attracts the earth toward a person's body could becalled the earth's weight on the person's body.The forces are both there, and they're equal.
What is weight of the body at the center of the earth?
Zero
The weight of an object due to?
The weight is due to the force exerted on the body by the gravitational pull by the earth. If no such gravitational pull on the body, then the body becomes weightless. In free space, very far away from the earth the astronauts experience weightlessness. So if M is the mass of the body, then Mg is the weight of the body. Hence weight depends on the value of 'g'. The value of g is the least at the equatorial region. It will be maximum at the poles. As we go at higher altitudes g value decreases. Same way as we go towards the centre of the earth ie as depth increases, g value decreases.
Is the weight of a body constant at all places on the earth?
The weight of a person is not constant at all places on the Earth. The weight becomes zero at the center of the earth or far away from the Earth.
What happens to the weight of the body when it falling freely under the action of gravity?
Nothing. If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.
What is the weight of the globe?
Firstly, the term 'weight' of earth is not completely correct according to physics. Weight of a body on earth is defined as the force with which earth pulls the body. The correct question should have been about the 'mass' of earth which is 5.9742* 10^24 kg.
What effects does leaving earth have on your body?
more weight
