    1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
    What is the physical meaning of the vertical intercept for weight-mass graph?


    2. Relevant equations

    there is no equations

    3. The attempt at a solution
    I know that the y-intercept is zero.

    Think about it.. What is the relationship between mass and weight? On Earth, can there be one without the other?
