The exploriment models the environment inside a craft.
The activity starts on the Earth’s surface. Find out the weight of the mass - it gets automatically plotted on the graph as a red dot.
Use the counter-weight scales to measure the mass.

Observe how weight varies with depth. The graph shows a visual representation of this relationship.
Conclusion: An object’s mass does not change with depth. It’s weight does.
