If the Earth losses its gravity, then for a body

A

weight becomes zero but not the mass

B

mass becomes zero but not weight

C

neither mass nor weight is zero

D

both mass and weight are zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As the earth loses its gravity then g=0 hence weight =mg =0 but the value of mass is unaffected or mass does not change
