Like Woomera said - just to clear up the area of weight and mass.

Weight is the gravitational force which acts on an object. The weight of an object changes as the gravitational field strength changes, since W=mg

Mass is a measure of resistance of a body to acceleration.

Currawong - are you referring to F=GMM/R^2 where F=mg?
