Question

The force of gravity with which a body is attracted towards the centre of the earth is _____
A) Weight
B) Mass
C) Position
D) ripple

Answer 1

The solution lies in our daily life. We have studied about the satellite which keeps on revolving round the earth because of the gravitational force and weight of the object in actual.

Complete solution:
The answer is simple but before answering the question let us see some basic things
Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is.
When a satellite revolves around the earth and the force of gravity acts on it along the radius of its orbit then the direction of motion is along the tangent to the orbit at any point. Thus, force acts perpendicular to displacement.
Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matters. On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity.
The force of gravity with which a body is attracted towards the centre of the earth is the weight of the body and it is equal to the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity offered by the earth.

Hence correct answer is option A

Additional information:
Ripple effect: A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it.

Note: Some textbooks have mass as answer of this question but this is the correct answer because the force with which an object near the Earth or another celestial body is attracted toward the center of the body by gravity is the mass consist by a body and in gravity it is the product of mass and g(gravity) which is called as weight.
