Answer:

exactly 25 g​

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of an object is universally the same every where. Even in outer space.

This is because, mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance. Since there is no loss in the amount of matter, the mass of the body stays the same.

  • It is weight that is subjected to changes with the value of gravity.
  • Weight differs from places to places.
  • A place with higher gravity will have a higher value of weight for any given mass.

Mass accounts for every individual matter present in a substance.

When they remain the same, mass does not change. Only a change in the amount of matter in a body can cause variation in mass.

Therefore, at the bottom of the ocean, a body will have the same mass as on top and even at sea level.
