2. Why?
Pls explain simply.

Answer:

It is important to remember that weight is not the same as mass - the weight of an object and its mass are directly proportional . This means that for a given gravitational field strength, the greater the mass of the object, the greater its weight. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses.
