A(n) 99.5 kg boxer has his first match in the Canal Zone with gravitational acceleration 9.8m/s2 and his second match at the North Pole with gravitational acceleration 9.6 m/s2.

Question

A(n) 99.5 kg boxer has his first match in the Canal Zone with gravitational acceleration 9.8m/s² and his second match at the North Pole with gravitational acceleration 9.6 m/s².

What is his mass in the Canal Zone?

Answer 1

His mass is the same everywhere.

His weight (mg) is the force due to gravity and that will be different in the two zones because the acceleration due to gravity (g) is different
