|---|---|
| $I.$ | Mass is the quantity of matter contained in the body; Weight is the force of gravity acting on the body. |
| $II.$ | Mass is the measure of inertia of the body; Weight is the measure of gravity. |
| $III.$ | Mass is a constant quantity; Weight is not constant and varies at different places. |
| $IV.$ | Mass is a scalar quantity (only magnitude); Weight is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction). |
| $V.$ | The $SI$ unit of mass is kilogram $(kg)$; The $SI$ unit of weight is Newton $(N)$. |
