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.

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.


Is the mass of the body constant at all places in the Earth?

Yes, the mass of a body remains constant at all places on Earth regardless of its location. This is because mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not change with its location within the Earth's gravitational field.


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.


Is weight of body maximum at poles?

No, the weight of a body remains the same regardless of its location on Earth. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the strength of gravity, which is relatively constant across the Earth's surface.


What force is acting on the weight?

Weight is , actually, the force experienced by a body on the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. It is expressed as the same way as force Force = mass*acceleration where as weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity Since mass of a body is constant and gravity is almost constant(9.8 m/s2 ) except at the poles where it is (10 m/s2 ) , a body has the same weight, wherever it is on earth.


What is the measure of the gravitational force on an object is?

Basically it is the object's "weight". The gravitational force on an object is its Mass X Gravitational Constant. The gravitational constant is the acceleration of a free falling body towards another body, and on Earth is equal to 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 feet/sec2. Thus while the MASS of an object is a constant physical property, the WEIGHT of an object depends on the local gravity field pulling on that MASS.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.


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.


Does the weight of the body remains constant everywhere in the universe?

no it does not remain contant.


Where on the earth would the weight of body be zero why?

on the centre of the earth.

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.
