  1. 60 kg -- on the moon, a mountaintop, or anywhere.

    Weight will change in a tiny (probably insignificant) amount as you get further from the earth's center by going to a mountaintop.  Mass doesn't change.  Mass is the amount of matter you contain--it has nothing to do with the force of gravity like weight does.  Converting kilograms to pounds is for convenience and practicality, because weight and mass are proportional when gravity is the same.


  2. your MASS never changes

    your WEIGHT changes  

  3. 60 kg.

  4. 60 kg. Unless you lose mass because you decided to climb Everest and didn't bring enough food. Mt. Everest is still on earth by the way.

  5. 60 kilograms

  6. Unknown to people who had not taken Quantum Physics, mass do change.

    Given speeds very much lower than the speed of light, mass never changes.

    But speeds near the speed of light, the mass of an object increases as stated in Einsteins Special Theory of Relativity.

    In your question, the mass never changes since the object is not anywhere at the speed of light. Only the weight changes since we get different values of g with respect to the height of an object to the ground.
