Per NCERT, the WEIGHT of an object (gravitational force by Earth) is given by which formula?
AWeight = mass alone
BWeight = mg, where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity
CWeight = m + g
DWeight = m / g
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Weight = mg, where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity
Per NCERT Eq 6.3, weight = mg. The other formulas misstate.
