Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The terms "mass" and "weight" are synonyms in ordinary conversation, but the two words don't mean the same thing. The difference between mass and weight is that mass refers to the amount of matter in a material, while weight is a force of gravity that acts upon that.

The correct statement would be, the mass and the weight represent two different quantities.
