Question 2

If you somehow increased Earth's radius, without changing its mass, would this affect your weight?
 
  A) Yes, your weight would increase.
  B) No, because your weight always remains the same regardless of how you change the external surroundings.
  C) No, because the force of gravity on your body depends only on your mass and on Earth's total mass--it doesn't depend on Earth's size.
  D) Yes, your weight would decrease.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
