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 of the body remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change. However, the weight of the body will be different on the moon compared to Earth, as weight depends on the gravitational pull on an object. The gravitational force on the moon is around 1/6th of that on Earth, so the body will weigh approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth when on the moon.


What is your weight for each planet considering the surface gravity?

Based on surface gravity, your weight on each planet would be: Mercury: 38% of your weight on Earth Venus: 91% of your weight on Earth Mars: 38% of your weight on Earth Jupiter: 236% of your weight on Earth Saturn: 113% of your weight on Earth Uranus: 92% of your weight on Earth Neptune: 113% of your weight on Earth These values are approximate and assume a similar mass and body composition.


What is the force on the body on earth?

The force acting on a body on Earth is the gravitational force. This force is directed towards the center of the Earth and is responsible for the weight of the body. The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of the Earth.


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.

What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.


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.


What is weight of the body at the center of the earth?

Zero


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.

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.
