- Gravity: The force acting due to the gravitational force of the earth on any object is called gravity. The gravitational force is
F = mg
m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity.
- Weight of an object: When an object is kept on a surface, the object imposes the force equal to its gravitational force on the surface. This force is called weight.
- The weight of the object can only be measured when it is on the surface.
- The weighing machine measures this force.
EXPLANATION:
- When the object is falling freely, it is acted upon by the force of gravity.
- But, the object is not applying its force to any surface. So, the weight of the object is zero.
- So, the correct answer is zero.
