The force of gravity on Planet Y is 5.3 m/sec2. The force of gravity on Planet Z is 6.2 m/sec2. A 10 kg object would:
weigh more on Planet Y than on Planet Z
weigh less on Planet Y than on Planet Z
weigh the same on Planet Y as on Planet Z

Weigh less on Planet Y than on Planet Z.
w= m x g....
so g is directly propotional to w.....
so...greater is the g more is the W
