Problem

A stone has a mass of

2\,\text{kg}

. It is weighed at three different locations. a. (i) Calculate its weight on Earth, taking

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

. b. (ii) Calculate its weight on the Moon, where

g = 1.63\,\text{m/s}^2

. c. (iii) Calculate its weight on a planet where

g = 12.2\,\text{m/s}^2

. d. (iv) Based on the above results, state with numerical evidence which quantity—mass or weight—depends on the value of

g
