Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. WEIGHT: As we have seen, weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object by the Earth (or any other celestial body). If an object is near the Earth's surface and has mass, then the object has a weight. The magnitude of its weight is w = mg and its direction is toward the center of the Earth.
