Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Weight and mass of an object are not the same.

Mass is defined as a measure of the amount of matter contained in a physical object. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pull on that matter.So, the weight is a force, and the mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains.

Conclusion:

The weight is a force, and the mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains.
