Weight of a body is the force of gravitational attraction experienced by it. It is equal to the product of mass of the body and acceleration due to gravity. If you imagine the motion of a body from the centre of the earth to the surface of the moon,what changes will you observe in the weight of the body during that motion?(Neglect the effect of all other objects).
