The search function should give many examples of this topic, but the short answer is that VMCA increases at lighter weights. The published VMCA is, however, usually picked as the highest applicable value and if so must be applied to all weights. As a result the light weight takeoff case is usually much more critical with respect to VMCA considerations.
