Question

the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity

Answer 1

The force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity is known as weight.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body.

The formula is :

                                W =mg

Here,

W is the weight or force acting on the body. m is the mass of the body, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Since weight is also a force, so its SI unit is also newton. The value of weight varies from place to place depending on the gravity. Its value can also be equal to zero.
