MEDIUM
Mass is measured by physical balance whereas weight is measured by spring balance. Explain.
MEDIUM
A body weighs 20 kg on the earth's surface. What is its weight at the centre of the earth.
MEDIUM
Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 16 as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the earth?
EASY
Mass and weight have the same units.
EASY
The weight of a body of mass 6.0 kg on moon is 10 N. If a boy of mass 30 kg goes from earth to the moon surface, what will be his mass?

MEDIUM
If the value of g suddenly becomes twice its value, it will become two times more difficult to pull a heavy object along the floor. Why?
EASY
There are two kinds of balances-beam balance and spring balance. If both the balances give the same measure of a given object on the surface of the earth, will they give the same measure on the surface of the moon? Explain why.
HARD
Why is the weight of an object on the moon 16 th its weight on the earth?
MEDIUM
