Specific weight is the weight per unit volume of a substance. Since weight depends on the gravitational acceleration, which varies slightly from place to place on Earth the specific weight of a liquid also varies accordingly. So both options B and C are correct.

Option D is correct because Mass is constant but g changes. As g present nominators and denominators which cancel each other and remain constant.

The correct option is B. As g remain constant on earth but changes as we go away from the centre of the earth.

Specific wt= wt/Vol & weight = mg and value of g varies for e.g in the moon it is 1/6th of the value of g. So The specific weight varies.

Yes, both option B and C should be correct.

Option C is the correct answer.

Specific weight is directly proportional to the weight of the fluid, means mass x gravitational force. And g is not constant at every place.
So, the answer should be C.
So, the answer should be C.
