Solution

Dear student,

$W = m g = g r a v i t a t i o n a l f o r c e o f t h e e a r t h m g = \frac{G M_{e} m}{R_{e}} W h e r e M_{e} a n d R_{e} a r e t h e m a s s a n d r a d i u s o f t h e e a r t h r e s p e c t i v e l y o r g = \frac{G M_{e}}{R_{e}}$
So acceleration of the gravity is independent of the mass of the body.
