Detailed Solution

Weight is a vector quantity.
The weight of an object is defined mathematically as,
W= mg
Where m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object due to the earth or any other celestial body. It is a vector quantity having a direction towards the earth's centre or that celestial body. It can be zero at the earth's centre and change as the acceleration due to gravity changes.
