The weight is directly proportional to Gravitational acceleration.

W =mg.

If g is double;
W=m(2g).
W=2mg.
W/2=mg.

So, the weight of the body will be reduced to half.

The gravitation acceleration means the rate of change of velocity, the body velocity depends upon their weight so weight doubles automatically acceleration double.

The Weight is directly proportional to gravitational acceleration.

It is not affected.

Sasi said:   8 years ago
Here, W = m * g.

Right @Rups.

It depend upon direction of acceleration.

Rups said:   1 decade ago
weight w = mass*gravitational acceleration.

So, wt. is directly proportional to g.
