Afixed, single pulley that is used to lift a block does which one of the following?
a.
doubles the force required to lift the block
b.
decreases the force required to lift the block
c.
makes the block easier to lift by changing the direction of the force needed to lift it
d.
decreases the force required and changes the direction of the force required

The answer is C, it makes the block easier to lift by changing the direction of the force needed to lift it 

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
