IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE WEIGHT ACTING ON AN OBJECT

Since it is a product of mass and gravitational force what if the gravitational force acting on the object is reduced since mass is constant and can't be altered 154.155.14.87 (talk) 06:57, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the net gravitational force is zero then the weight is zero. There is a point between the earth and moon where the net gravitational force between the two is zero. Of course the sun is always involved too ... so it becomes more complex and we need to get all three lined up and ... what about Jupiter ... :) Vsmith (talk) 13:31, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please don't use all caps, it's just ugly shouting that way ... Vsmith (talk) 13:31, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

weight will also decrease as gravitational force is directly proportional to weight 49.204.210.196 (talk) 12:01, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
