Explanation:

  • The weight of a body is the force with which it is attracted towards the centre of earth.
  • When a body is stationary with respect to the earth, its weight equals the gravity. This weight of the body is known as its static or true weight.
  • Inertia is a property of mass. Hence, a body can have inertia (i.e., mass) but no weight.
  • Everybody always have inertia but its weight (mg) can be zero.
  • When it is taken at the centre of the earth or during free fall under gravity or a body placed at a very large distance from earth.
  • Basically weight of a body can zero when acceleration due to gravity is zero, that condition is called weightlessness.

In the weightlessness state, bodies have no weight, but possess inertia.
