Answer:

(a) WeightN (newton)Changes from place to place
(b) Acceleration due to gravitym/s2Zero at the centre of the earth
(c) Gravitational constantNm2/kg2Same in the entire universe

Weight is a force (W = mg), so its unit is the newton, and it changes with g from place to place. The acceleration due to gravity g has the unit m/s² and becomes zero at the centre of the earth, where the gravitational pull from all sides cancels. The gravitational constant G is a universal constant — 6.67 × 10–11 Nm²/kg² — the same everywhere.
