Under what conditions is the relationship between mass and weight constant?

a. In outer space c. At the center of the Earth
b. At zero gravity d. Near the surface of the Earth


ANS: D
Near the surface of the Earth, two equations apply: d = m/v, dw = w/v. In space and at zero gravity, weight is not a factor; at the Earth's core, extreme gravitational forces would increase the weight as mass remained constant.
