Expert Answer
Weight
- Weight is the measurement of the gravitational pull acting on the concerned body.
- It may vary as per the positioning of the body as the gravitational force or pull also varies accordingly.
- The SI unit of weight is Newton
- For e.g. A body on Moon's surface weighs one sixth of the same on the Earth.
Mass
- Mass is the measurement of the exact amount of matter which a body contains.
- Thus the value of mass for a body remains same irrespective of the position at which the body is placed.
- The SI unit of mass is kilogram (Kg)
