Detailed Solution

Our weight is a type of gravitational force.
Weight is a force that acts on all the objects on the earth. The earth pulls all the objects downwards with gravitational force towards the earth's centre. Thus, the weight of all the bodies acts downwards and is called a gravitational force. Gravitational force is a non-contact force. The electrostatic force is produced due to electrons, and friction is the force that works between the two surfaces. The magnetic force is the attractive or repulsive force exerted between the poles of a magnet and electrically charged moving particles. The relative motion between two surfaces of objects opposes by the force when they come in contact, known as friction
