Answer:

increase also

Explanation:

The weight of a person is equal to the gravitational pull exerted by the Earth on the person:

where

is the gravitational constant

is the mass of the Earth

is the mass of the person

is the Earth's radius

We notice that the weight is directly proportional to the mass of the Earth. Therefore, if the mass of the Earth M increases, and the radius R does not change, the weight of the person increases as well.

Answer

Increases also.

The force due to gravity is given by,

F = GM.m/r²

Where G is a constant of proportionality

∴ F ∝ M.m/r²

When r remains constant, force due to gravity, F, will be;

F ∝ M.m

Where M is the mass of the earth and m is your mass

Since your mass does not change, we are going to have;

F ∝ M.

This means the weight F is directly proportional to the mass of the earth. when it increases the your weight also increases.
