Weight changes with altitude, or elevation with respect to the earth. This only happens because the further one is from the planet, the weaker the value of g.

Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?

No it does not. Its weight, however, does.


What is a change that affects the weight of an object?

A change in mass, gravitational force, or elevation can affect the weight of an object. Adding or removing material, altering the surrounding environment, or moving the object to a different location are common factors that can change the weight of an object.


How would the weight of an object change if it is initially weighed in Delhi to poles and them takens to the pole?

The weight of an object would not change when moving from Delhi to the North Pole. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and since gravity is relatively constant on Earth's surface, the weight of an object remains the same. The only factor that can affect weight is altitude, but the difference in altitude between Delhi and the North Pole is negligible in terms of gravity's impact.


What is the relationship between water pressure and elevation, specifically in terms of the change in water pressure per foot of elevation?

The relationship between water pressure and elevation is that as elevation increases, water pressure decreases. This is because the weight of the water above exerts less force at higher elevations. The change in water pressure per foot of elevation is approximately 0.433 pounds per square inch (psi) for every foot of elevation gained.


Why does the weight of an object change with increasing elevation on earth?

The weight of an object changes with increasing elevation on Earth because the force of gravity decreases as you move further away from the Earth's center. This means that an object will weigh less at higher elevations compared to at sea level.
