What Will Happen To The Mass Or Weight Of The Body If Earths Gravitation Suddenly Disappears?

mass will remain the same as it denotes a measure of “material” contained in the body but weight will become zero since W= m*g and since g is zero so weight becomes zero.
apart frm the equation,weight of a body is the force with which the earth pulls the body towards its centre.when that pull disappears the resulting force and hence the weight is bound to be zero.

    The body will still have mass. The weight will be zero.
    A scale measures downward force. Force = mg where m = mass and g= gravitational acceleration. If g=0 the weight = 0

    mass will same and weight become 0.because weight is mass multiply gravity

    you will be having mass but the weight will be zero as w=mg. and here g=0 so w=0. simple..

    mass woll remain as it was.
    weight = mg=m*0=0
