The weight of an object in the coal mine...

The weight of an object in the coal mine, sea level and at the top of the mountain are `W_(1),W_(2)` and `W_(3)` respectively, then

A

`w_(1)=w_(2)=w_(3)`

B

`w_(1)lt w_(2)lt w_(3)`

C

`w_(1)gt w_(2)gt w_(3)`

D

`w_(1)lt w_(2)gt w_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

w = mg, hence the weight depends upon g.
`g_("mine")lt g_("sea level")` and `g_("mountain")lt g_("sea level")`
`therefore w_(1)lt w_(2)gt w_(3)`
